THE COTSWOLDS Defined by the bedrock of Jurassic Limestone, The Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty spread across six counties in south central England. The name Cotswold is derived from The Old English “Cuda’s – Wold;” Wold is a common suffix meaning Hill, so The Cotswodlds are the hills belonging to Cuda - a goddess from Celtic mythology thought to have been worshiped in the area during the 8th century.

During the Middle Ages, the Cotswolds became prosperous from the wool trade with the continent, with much of the money made from wool directed towards building the many handsome Cotswold Stone “wool churches,” many of which are still preserved.

Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, the area is characterised by attractive quaint villages and small towns built of yellow, gold Cotswold stone, winding roads and rolling hills. Places of interest include, Sudeley Castle, Broadway Tower, Corsham Court and Chedworth Roman Villa, amongst many others.

The villages of Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway and Stowon-the-Wold are amongst those renowned for their charm, attracting visitors from across the world. Cirencester is home to the Royal Agricultural University, the oldest agricultural college in the English speaking world, while Chipping Camden is notable for being the home of the Arts and Crafts movement, founded by William Morris at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
