Cotswolds

Honey-stone villages, wool churches and country pubs along the footpaths.

The Cotswolds are England as people picture it: villages of golden limestone, thatched and slate roofs, wool churches far too large for their parishes and a pub with a fire at the end of every walk. Chipping Campden starts the Cotswold Way, Cirencester was the second city of Roman Britain, and Castle Combe looks as if nothing has changed since the Middle Ages.
