The Cotswolds

If you’ve visited before – or if you’re planning a visit for the first time – remember, the Cotswolds occupies an area larger than a few villages.  The area in the north of the Cotswolds includes villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Winchcombe and Chipping Campden; whilst to the South, the area has a slightly wilder nature, especially in the beautiful five valleys around Stroud.
