What to do and see in Cotswolds, England: The Best Visitor Centers

May 27, 2021 Flossie Demartino

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.

Easy to find and was just up the road from our hotel. People were very helpful. This is the only place we found bus timetables for around Gloucestershire as we had decided to use the buses whilst we were in Gloucester. Plenty of information available and well stocked.We even picked up a map of the public houses in the town which is what we wanted as we were going to try out some of them.
