The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful and iconic places to visit in the world. It has everything from charming Cotswold stone cottages to hidden villages and wonderful natural scenery. Sometimes you feel you are in another world. It also has the largest number of conservation areas of any English region.
The Cotswolds is home to a rolling countryside of 3000 miles of public footpaths which are steeped in history. The history goes all the way back to Neolithic times 6000 years ago, really peaking over the last few hundred years due to the wool trade.

The Cotswolds is also particularly famous for its honey-coloured limestone, which was used to construct the villages and lively market towns. The warm, mellow colour of the communities blends perfectly with the surrounding golden green countryside — a big part of what makes the Cotswolds so breathtakingly distinctive.

J. B. Priestley once wrote of Cotswold stone:
“The truth is that it has no colour that can be described. Even when the sun is obscured and the light is cold, these walls are still faintly warm and luminous, as if they knew the trick of keeping the lost sunlight of centuries glimmering about them.”
