Our top reasons to visit the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is one of England’s most beautiful regions. It’s a place where time stands still, and you can unwind and immerse yourself in undisturbed nature. Whether you’re after some downtime or active days out, it’s one of our favourite British breaks.

The scenic countryside The variety of rural landscapes is one of the best reasons to visit the Cotswolds. Made up of ancient woodlands, wildflower meadows, babbling brooks and rolling green hills, you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into a painting. One of our favourite viewpoints is Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds at 330 metres. It’s a moderately challenging climb to the top, but you’ll be treated to mesmerising views of Cheltenham, west Gloucestershire and the River Severn.
