Going Places Cotswolds

The very name the region was proudly given, that is the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, speaks for itself. The gentle hills dotted with pretty villages of honey-colored stone, charming churches and cottages, dry-stone walls and country pubs represent the quintessence of rural England, as immortalized in countless books, paintings and films. Much of the superior quality of this region is owed to its medieval sheep and the wealth they generated. Who knows, maybe you can still hear a Middle Age ‘baa!' echoing in the dry-stone partitions used to enclose the animals. These days the enticing cities of Cotswolds like Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, and Oxford lure with great places to eat, celebrity residents and lively cultural events. A must stopover!
