Tucked away in the western part of central England and sometimes referred to as the Heart of England, the Cotswolds represents the past and a glimpse of traditional English living. From the grand bath resorts to the comfortable villages living in the Cotswolds will bring you back to the age of carriages and petticoats, all while still offering the modern luxuries and conveniences of today.
The Cotswolds is a located in a hilly area composed of scenic villages made primarily from limestone native to the region. Anybody visiting can take a look at the great natural beauty this area has to offer by walking the Cotswold Way, a long path that meanders throughout the Cotsworld’s
Besides providing great views from the heights of the path the Cotswold Way has historically interesting sites and villages along it way and has many fine places to stay as you travel it. Many people opt to only see certain bits and pieces but some like it so much they travel the entire way, just a bit over 100 miles.
Unfortunately the grand baths that existed back in the day are no longer open but but many majestic and historic buildings are still there, remains of a time that was slower than our own, yet that still seems more interesting and exciting. Because of the prevalence of mineral water in the area some towns are looking to make natural medicine once again available.
The Cotswolds has all the comforts associated with English living. You have local pubs to drink ale and wine at, and to meet with your friends. If you want to stay in the Coswolds for a while your choice of lodgings varies from fancy hotels to traditional bed and breakfast houses, with great home-made cooking. If you want to bring your dog along, many places do allow pets so your furry friend can come along on your excursions.
