Cotswolds
The Cotswolds are a range of rolling hills spread over parts of south-west and south central England. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, it has unique features derived from the local golden-coloured limestone known as Cotswold stone.
The Cotswolds is home to some of the most unspoilt, historic and famous towns and villages in England. The honey-coloured stone buildings provide a quintessential English charm found no-where else in the world. It really is a unique experience!
Cotswold Garden
Visits to gardens are often associated with summertime, but here in the Cotswolds, gardens bloom and burst with colour throughout the year. There is something for every season here – winter is often overlooked when it comes to gardens, but we have some of the best snowdrops in the country as well as the best autumn colour displays too.
