Steeped in history, rich in heritage and awash with natural beauty, the Oxfordshire Cotswolds is a charming blend of bustling market towns, breathtaking natural scenery and over 6000 years of history.
This is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, which along with the 'gentle' rolling hills, means its great walking, cycling or horse riding country. There are miles of wonderful way-marked routes for day long expeditions or gentle afternoon ambles.
A prime central location means the area is ideal as a base from which to explore nearby landmark towns, cities and attractions too. Oxford, City of dreaming spires, lies just a few miles east, perfect for a touch of cosmopolitan city culture! To the west, down the Roman Fosse Way, are Gloucestershire's golden stone villages, the market towns of Cirencester, Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold and the larger Spa towns of Cheltenham and Bath. Venture a few miles north to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare and medieval Warwick and to the south, the winding River Thames as it meanders from its source in nearby Lechlade, onwards to London.
