If you’re planning a trip to England, then visiting the Cotswolds should already be on your list of places to see. The Cotswolds is a picturesque region located in south central England and is known for its rolling hills, charming villages and historical sites. 

Whether you’re looking to explore the history and culture of the area or simply want to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the countryside, here are the top five must-visit destinations in the Cotswolds:

Bourton-on-the-Water

This charming village is often referred to as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”. Why, you may ask? Well, because it has a number of bridges that cross the River Windrush. It’s a popular tourist destination that has plenty of tea rooms, shops and historical buildings to explore.

Castle Combe

This small village is often considered one of the most picturesque in England, with its thatched roofs, stone cottages and 14th-century church. The surrounding countryside is just as beautiful making it a great destination for walks and picnics.

Stow-on-the-Wold

This historic market town is located on top of a hill and is surrounded by rolling countryside. It’s home to many antique shops and has a rich history, including connections to the English Civil War. What better way to learn about the country than with the backdrop of Stow-on-the-Wold?

The Slaughters

You may have already guessed that this name actually refers to two small villages called the Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter. Both of the villages are surrounded by meadows and woodland adding to their picturesque beauty and peaceful atmosphere. If it’s walking and cycling that you’re after then this is the place for you!
