Everyone knows that a holiday in the Cotswolds has a lot to offer. You will find yourself almost in another world when you arrive for your stay in one of our Cotswolds English country cottages.
It goes without saying that you should remember your camera and have it with you at all times. If you can take panoramic shots, so much the better! There are so many stunning views to appreciate that you will be tempted to spend the whole of your holiday looking through your lens.
But here are five of the best to watch out for on your Cotswolds holiday.
Arlington Row in Bibury
It is the mix of old weavers’ cottages, coupled with the single track road and the stream on the other side that guarantees this location makes it into the photo album.
This village is a must see for most visitors, and it isn’t hard to see why. Bibury fairly breathes the Cotswolds and all it stands for.
The River Windrush in Bourton on the Water
One of the most popular of all the Cotswolds villages, Bourton benefits from the low bridges – six in all – that connect one side of the river with the other. You can sit on these and dangle your legs over if you wish! The low position of the bridges makes an unusual and eye catching backdrop for any photo.
Banbury Cross
It’s worth venturing out to the eastern edge of the Cotswolds, because you can take a picture of the Banbury Cross itself.
You’ll remember the nursery rhyme no doubt, but this isn’t the only reason to pay Banbury a visit. The town is dripping with history and the closeness of the Oxford Canal provides even more stunning views to appreciate.
Looking down from Chipping Norton
Chipping Norton benefits from its high position, situated in the Cotswolds Hills. As such you have two advantages when you arrive – you can enjoy sights such as the row of Almshouses the town is famous for. And you can also look across at much of the countryside surrounding the town. Plenty of opportunities then for panoramic views as well as charming close ups!
Meon Hill – and a bonus village below
Quite often while staying in one of the many Cotswold cottages, you will wander around and stumble on a wonderful view that also gives rise to another discovery.
If you go out walking around just north of Chipping Campden, you will come across Meon Hill. This is a delightful area and it overlooks the village of Mickleton.
Once you have spent some time gazing down on the views before you, you can make your way down to the village itself. This charming village is wonderful for visiting on the last day of your holiday – you will be able to buy plug plants and take advantage of the market gardening that goes on there!
There are many other stunning views to appreciate in every corner of the Cotswolds of course. But these should get you started on the right track.
