Cotswold’s quaint villages

The Cotswolds covers nearly 800 square miles and contain parts of some of England's prettiest towns and villages. Boughton on the Water, Burford and Chedworth are particularly well worth a visit. Although there are scenic drives aplenty in the rural area, the Cotswolds is best discovered on foot.
