Cotswolds
The Cotswolds are a range of hills that are 25 miles wide and 90 miles long. They are mostly within Gloucestershire, but also cross into the counties of Oxfordshire, Somerset, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. The name Cotswolds is believed to have been derived from the word Wold meaning hill and so the description is literally rolling hills. In addition to this beautiful gently rolling hill landscape, the geology of the Cotswolds also adds to its appeal. The yellow limestone that is prevalent is quite distintive, such that it is called Cotswold stone. The buidings in the towns and villages within the region are mostly made from the stone giving them a distinctive look and character. There are a number of picturesque towns and villages within the Cotswolds, but we have included some popular ones such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Campden, Cirencester and Stow-on-the-Wold |
