What to do and see in Cotswolds, England: The Best Flea & Street Markets
The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

it was a fabulous surprise to come across the shambles market in the middle of Stroud the Friday before Christmas 2017. It is held every Friday throughout the year and is a true delight. There was a stall called 'vintage mary' which i highly recommend if your into anything vintage or crafty - an abundance of good quality wool in a variety of colours! Also, there were many pre loved house hold items such as cutlery, plates and quaint little and large teapots along with cups and saucers - it is truly a must see!
