Cotswolds AONB

The Cotswolds is a rural area in south-central England covering parts of 6 counties. It is picturesque with its rolling hills and pastures that were the harbor of medieval villages, with thatched roofs, churches and stately homes built of the distinctive local yellow limestone. The Cotswold Hills rise gently westward from the broad green meadows of the Upper Thames to a dramatic cliff-top over the Severn and Evesham valleys. England's rural landscape at its most imbued with the warmth and richness of the famous stone beauty of its buildings, attracts visitors and tourists from all over the world. .
