A home from home in the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is world famous for the special beauty and distinctiveness of its towns, villages and landscape.

It is one of the most wonderful places in the country to explore with something for everyone to enjoy: there are charming villages and historic market towns, impressive churches and imposing manor houses, rolling countryside and glorious gardens and arboreta.

Within the the Cotswolds there is a wealth of things to do – be it visiting a Roman fort or medieval manor, shopping for home grown produce at a farmers market or buying local wares in a Cotswold village, walking the Cotswold Way or exploring magnificent woodlands.

The AONB Partnership is doing everything it can to help people enjoy the Cotswolds so that a visit is both a rewarding experience and does not destroy the distinctive character of the area – and remains somewhere special for future generations to enjoy

When exploring the Cotswolds, people are being encouraged to leave the car at home, let some one else do the driving and explore the Cotswolds on foot, cycles and by public transport.

The AONB Partnership has designed special walks, cycle rides and bus routes to take in the hidden charm of the Cotswolds countryside and all the features that make the Cotswolds special Click here to search our Library of Walks to find out about organised walks in the area.
