The Cotswold Area
Two things above all give the Cotswold landscape its
special warmth and richness; the soft natural limestone and the wealth of the
past wool trade, which has left a heritage of superb buildings. The variety of
attractions is almost endless: from wildlife parks, to historic houses and
gardens, to water parks and sporting facilities. These are quite apart from more
sedate pleasures such as browsing amongst superb antique shops or just enjoying
the peace and tranquillity of this, Britain's biggest 'Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty'. In addition, you will find this the ideal base to explore other
wonderful parts of England. Oxford, Cheltenham, Stratford and London are easily
and quickly accessible by car or public transport.
