About The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds lie mainly within the ceremonial counties of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, but extend into parts of Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire. The Cotswolds are a range of hills in southwestern and west-central England, an area 25 miles across and 90 miles long.
The beautiful Cotswold hills and the unique honey-coloured Cotswold stone architecture have ensured that this area is well known and enjoyed by visitors from around the world.
The Cotswold Way is a long-distance footpath, approximately 103 miles long, running the length of the AONB, mainly on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment with views over the Severn Valley and the Vale of Evesham.

Some historically important Cotswold structures to visit are: Chedworth Roman Villa, Cirencester Abbey, Sudeley Castle, Tetbury Market House and Broadway Tower. The Cotswold towns and villages such as Broadway, Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold are great for a stroll and to take in the architecture.
The town of Chipping Campden is notable for being the home of the Arts and Crafts Movement, founded by William Morris at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. William Morris lived occasionally in Broadway Tower, a folly, now part of a country park.
