Cotswolds Area Guide

Known for its honey-hued houses and rolling hills that stretch as far as the eye can see, the Cotswolds is a region that encapsulates the quintessential charm of rural England. Dotted with chocolate-box villages set against cascading meadows, it is known for its deep-seated love of horses that is as ingrained as the buttery limestone cottages. It’s not just the pretty ponies that attract people to the area: spanning six counties, this hilly haven is the UK’s largest Area of Natural Beauty – so beautiful it has to be seen to be believed. Home to an affluent population, residents in the Cotswolds enjoy a slow and tranquil country lifestyle, surrounded by fantastic amenities including restaurants, cultural landmarks, and nationally-loved community events.
