Cotswolds The Cotswolds are centred on the gentle slopes of the Cotswolds
Hills and are officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, the largest in England and Wales, and made up from parts of
the English Counties of Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Oxfordshire,
Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Somerset. We also include the county of
Herefordshire. The region is famous for its ancient mellow 'honey' coloured
limestone villages that blend perfectly into the countryside and its
bustling market towns. Many have scarcely altered since they grew up
on the prosperity of the medieval wool trade in the 15th and 16th
centuries and subsequently forgotten about for more then 300 years.
This sequence of events now makes the Cotswolds region one of the most
treasured, toured and vacationed in England and the UK for nowhere
else will you see such timeless uniqueness and heart warming
preservation on such a scale. The Cotswolds in England UK is an area once given over entirely to
sheep-farming. Many of the fine churches and manor houses owe their
existence to the generosity of the wealthy medieval yeoman farmers and
wool merchants. The dignified villages and towns owe much of their
charm from the use of the warm, honey-coloured limestone which was
locally quarried by hand and used alike for humble weavers cottages,
mansions, and churches. Never far from sight, numerous streams wind
through the valleys and chatter alongside main streets. The demise, and now the good fortune, of the Cotswolds was due to
the increasing manufacture of cloth in the 16th and 17th centuries
leading to a forgotten wool industry and a forgotten Cotswolds. Hence
the villages have undertaken no change for 300 years and are now to be
marvelled at for their perfect preservation and beauty that only
exists in this most unique of regions in the United Kingdom. This Cotswolds guide will take you on a tour of some of the most
beautiful areas and places to be found and to holiday, from the
northern Cotswold's gateway of Broadway to the magnificent roman town
and now Georgian City of Bath on the southern fringes. It will include
Shakespeare's Stratford upon Avon, the king maker's castle of Warwick,
and Winston Churchhill's childhood home, Blenheim Palace. |
