The Central England / Cotswolds / Cheltenham / Gloucester region
The Cotswolds are one of the most ‘quintessential English’ regions in the UK.
It is officially designated as the country’s largest ‘areas of outstanding natural beauty’. Famous for its hillsides, river valley’s and Cotswold Stone Villages, the Cotswolds hold a wealth of history, stunning scenery, fine dining and many varieties of activities for all age levels.
The Bledington area
A favourite with hikers, Bledington is a delightful village with a large green at the centre heavily patrolled by a fleet of ducks! Four miles from Stow-on-the-Wold, and a short walk from Kingham station, Bledington makes a good stop-off enroute to Stow or Bourton-on-the-Water and the award winning Kings Head Inn is an ideal place for a drink and some food. Burford, Chipping Norton and Chipping Campden are all within an easy drive. Slightly further afield are Oxford, Stratford upon Avon and Bath, but all are easy day trips for the more adventurous.
