The Cotswolds is the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales. It covers a vast area (approximately 800 square miles) and is made up of five counties.
The Cotswolds has been building a reputation for excellent food and drink, culture, arts and crafts for years. Chefs can source almost all their fresh produce from within a very few miles of their kitchens. Artists draw inspiration from the landscape and heritage of the area. Our village pubs are thriving, our high streets are filled with independent shops and family businesses have been providing us with goods and services for generations.
From Oxford in the east to Cheltenham in the west, Chipping Campden in the north to Bath in the South, there are no end things to do in the Cotswolds. Discover fun attractions, cultural experiences, delicious dining out, retail opportunities and begin exploring today.
