🌿 If you’re planning a Cotswolds escape, start here…
📍 Castle Combe
Often called one of the prettiest villages in England, Castle Combe is all honey-coloured stone cottages, winding streets and beautiful countryside.
📍 Ebrington
A quieter corner of the Cotswolds, filled with traditional stone cottages and surrounded by rolling countryside. Come for a wander, stay for a pint at the village pub and enjoy life at a considerably slower pace.
📍 Stow-on-the-Wold
One of the best-known Cotswolds market towns, packed with independent shops, antique stores, cosy pubs and cafés. Don’t miss St Edward’s Church and its famously enchanting doorway.
📍 Chipping Norton
Known affectionately as Chippy, this lively market town mixes classic Cotswolds character with brilliant independent shops, pubs and places to eat.
📍 Kingham
Picture-perfect cottages, wide village greens and some seriously good food. Kingham regularly finds its way onto lists of England’s prettiest villages.
📍 Bourton-on-the-Water
The River Windrush runs straight through the heart of the village beneath a series of little stone bridges, earning Bourton its nickname, the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’.
📍 Broadway
A beautiful village centred around its broad, historic High Street, lined with honey-stone buildings, independent shops, galleries and places to eat. From here, walk up to Broadway Tower for one of the most recognisable views in the Cotswolds.
