Cotswold Way
Immerse yourself in the history of the Cotswold at one of the many Cotswold museums, great historic houses, or just walk through the streets and down the back lanes within the beautiful Cotswold stone towns and villages.
There is so much history to take in that you’ll be sure to find a historic story that rewards your interests.
'Cotswold' is a combination of two very old English words. Everyone's pretty much agreed that 'Wolds' are gentle hills. And most people agree that 'Cots' are sheep enclosures. So 'Cotswold' probably just means an area of gentle hills with plenty of sheep around.
The Cotswolds hills are criss-crossed with dry stone walls. The picturesque Cotswold landscape is completed with hidden river valleys and distinctive market towns and villages made of the famous Cotswold stone. Many Cotswold villages have enigmatic names such as The Slaughters, Stow-on-the-Wold.
