Visit the Cotswolds for a self-catering cottage holiday and enjoy rural England at its best.
The
Cotswolds are a range of hills that run down the south west of
England. The Costwold hills run from Bath in the south
through Gloucestershire, parts of Oxfordshire and almost all the
way to Stratford on Avon in Warwickshire.
The
Cotswolds is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
and if you wish to see magnificent English countryside then do
visit the Cotswold hills.
The
rock forming the hills is a pale limestone which is also used
extensively as a building material. The resultant honey-coloured
cottages and houses are pleasing to the eye. Dry stone
walls edging the fields are of the same pale stone, and even
modern houses have to comply with the regional building
convention so that the Cotswold area has a character and style
of its own.
For
those who love anything old and historic, there is a multitude
of centuries old buildings to enjoy and more antique shops than
most- Tetbury in Gloucestershire boasts over 30.
The
Cotswold Water Park is a series of lakes offering fishing,
pleasant walks, sailing, watersports, bird watching.
