What to see in the Cotswolds
As a designated National Landscape, the Cotswolds never fails to enchant visitors with its idyllic honey-stone villages, charming old-fashioned tearooms, historic attractions, and wealth of scenic walking trails.
With its timeless bucolic towns, rolling hills and wildflower meadows, it's no surprise that the Cotwolds are often viewed as the quintessential English countryside. The Cotswold Way walking trail takes hikers trekking through stunning scenery, passing through woodlands, and open fields to panoramic hilltop views.
Among the other highlights are villages like Bourton-on-the-Water, sometimes called the "Venice of the Cotswolds" for its lovely bridges crossing the River Windrush, while for history enthusiasts there's the striking UNESCO World Heritage Site of Blenheim Palace.
