Pictures of Cotswolds
Cotswolds visitor information tour guide for one of the most 'quintessentially English' and unspoiled regions of England, UK.

This site is the world's largest Internet resource for the whole of the Cotswold region formed by the associated six English counties.

The Cotswolds region covers an area of 790 square miles in the upper part of the southwest region of England and is the country's largest officially designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (see our Fact Sheet).

Popular with both the English themselves and international visitors from all over the world, the area is well known for gentle hillsides (‘wolds’), outstanding countryside with river valleys, water meadows and beech woods, sleepy ancient limestone villages, historic market towns and for being so ‘typically English’ where time has stood still for over 300 years.

Throughout the Cotswolds stone features in buildings and stone walls act as a common thread  in seamlessly blending the historic towns & villages with their surrounding landscape.

This detailed and comprehensive tour directory is the perfect visitor guide to the region's history, beautiful villages, places to visit, finding accommodation and places to eat including where to shop, and what glorious gardens to see.

It also includes Cotswold outdoor activity pursuits including Walking, Cycling, Golfing, Motor Sport, Horse Riding, Camping and Caravanning.

The Events Calendar lets you know about Events taking place throughout the year and Maps are provided for the whole region. Find holiday and vacation accommodation and lodgings.

of all our countrysides"
