Popular market towns such as Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh are an antique collector’s haven, while Kingham boasts the pinnacle of all farm shops, Daylesford Organic Farm, and Stroud is famously known for its weekly farmers market.

With much of the Cotswolds an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s no surprise that the region offers a wealth of outdoor leisure activities, from trekking the Cotswold Way, to cycling the Wiltshire Cycleway, caving at Clearwell and country pursuits such as clay pigeon shooting and golf. Those who are feeling adventurous can enjoy water-based fun at the Cotswold Water Park where water skiing, wakeboarding, sailing and kayaking are all available, while nature seekers can look forward to peaceful lakeside strolls, birdwatching and a plethora of local spas to unwind in afterwards.

A wonderful place for an adventure, the Cotswolds has plenty of events and festivals throughout the year that guarantee there is something for everyone to enjoy. The Big Feastival, Cornbury Music Festival, and the famous Cheese Rolling at Copper’s Hill are just a few of our favourites.
