Cotswold Landscapes

by Robin Whiteman, Robin Whiteman

High hills, rolling uplands, steep escarpments, swift-flowing streams, stately homes and humble dwellings draw visitors to the Cotswolds, one of Britain's most celebrated regions. Now it's your turn. The journey starts in the university town of Oxford, with its awe-inspiring medieval towers, and ends in the elegant resort city of Bath. Along the way, travel to the area's best-known sites, and also uncover its secret, secluded gems. From village to village, a visual harmony reigns, thanks to nature's gift of limestone, which brings honey-colored beauty to both the landscape and the architecture. From the overarching rainbow-filled sky in Belas Knap to the well-tended cottages of Bibury, it's a trip you'll never forget...and one you'll want to take often.
