Cotswold District

The Cotswold Hills define the setting of Cotswold — Jurassic limestone uplands, dry-stone walls and broad fields give this part of England its distinctive rural character. The area lies within the Cotswolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty extending across several counties. Honey-coloured limestone has long shaped local building traditions, from farmhouses to parish churches. Medieval prosperity here was closely tied to the wool trade, which helped finance many of the region’s historic settlements. Walking routes and quiet country lanes connect valleys, woodland and open slopes. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Cotswolds.
