Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1966, rolling hills and farm fields typify the gorgeous landscape of Cotswolds. The Cotswolds cover a huge area and run through five counties. One of the delights of visiting the Cotswolds is exploring the different areas, each with its own identity, yet all with those defining Cotswold features: golden stone and rolling hills, the 'wolds'.
Cotswold National Park houses an impressive range of wildlife. You can enjoy the sighting of giraffes, camels, rhinos, asiatic lions, crocodiles, penguins, and turtles to name a few. The region is also home to several gardens that are perfect for a relaxed picnic.
Touring the English villages of honey-coloured stone, one can truly relish the lively market towns, castles, country houses and the lush greenlands. The Cotswolds are great for a laid back holiday in the countryside amidst nature.
