The Central England / Cotswolds / Cheltenham / Gloucester region
The Cotswolds are rural England at its best, what distinguishes the region is its characteristic warm yellow coloured stone which most of the houses and cottages are built . There is something about the hills and the fields with their dry stone walls, the hedgerows and the friendly towns and villages that blend into rural harmony . This most attractive region is criss crossed with tracks and public foot paths to accommodate the walker and rambler . Every 3 or 4 miles, the traveller comes upon yet another village of Cotswold stone houses, cottages and farms seemingly more attractive than the last. The area is bounded by Banbury and Oxford to the east, Cheltenham and Gloucester to the west, Cirencester and Stroud to the south, and Stratford on Avon to the north, and is only a mere 80 miles to London.

Further details outdoors: Well Cottage is within a conservation area of the village, on a cul de sac closed at one end by the river Windrush, which gives our location a very quiet and unique advantage. Walking a few short minutes from the cottage will bring you to the picturesque 16th century pathway along the river. There are several ancient stone bridges which will give access to the lovely antique and gift shops either side of the river. For those who enjoy walking, there are numerous footpaths and bridleways to explore starting as close as twenty metres from the cottage.
