the real cotswolds Away from the more visited Cotswold towns and villages are a whole host of equally beautiful gems, rich in history and heritage and surrounded by stunning countryside.

CIRENCESTER Known as the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds’, Cirencester is a beautiful market town dating back to Roman times. As well as wonderful Georgian and Victorian architecture, modern Cirencester is a great place to base yourself to explore the wider area, or to enjoy the gorgeous independent local shops, markets, eateries, cafés, theatre and galleries. With public parks on your doorstep, a beautiful town church and gorgeous places to rest your head like the King’s Head and Fleece hotels, we guarantee you’ll fall in love with Cirencester. 4 visit cotswolds.com


MALMESBURY England’s oldest borough is quite simply a delight. The high street is full to bursting with independent shops and eateries, all nestling in the shadow of the stunning 12th century Abbey. Meander along the beautiful River Avon and Conygre Mead Nature Reserve, explore the Athelstan Museum and admire the 15th century market cross before enjoying a night in the oldest hotel in England – The Old Bell.

NORTHLEACH Nestled in the countryside, Northleach is an ancient market town rich in history and architectural interest. It owes much of its prosperity to the wool trade, evident in the half-timbered buildings dating back to the 15th century, as well as the impressive church of St Peter and St Paul – known as the ‘Cathedral of the Cotswolds’. The market place has changed little since the 16th century and provides a centrepiece for lovely independent shops, selling everything from fresh bread and cakes to specialist wines, meat and cheeses. Don’t miss The Old Prison, an 18th century correction house which includes the Cotswold Discovery Centre and a café. visit cotswolds.com 5


PAINSWICK Surrounded by beautiful countryside and set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Painswick lies at the mid-point of the Cotswold Way National Trail. Just a short walk from the village, Painswick Beacon provides excellent views across the Severn Vale towards the Malvern Hills and even Wales.

Many of the buildings in the village are made from locally quarried stone and the lovely church of St. Mary’s is surrounded by 99 legendary yew trees. In the village there is a variety of small shops, cafés, restaurants and places to stay, and the Rococo Garden, now the country’s only complete surviving rococo garden, is nearby.

TETBURY Tetbury is an architectural gem, with many of the buildings unchanged since they were built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The town is well-known for its independent shops, including antiques, vintage and interiors, exclusive boutiques, and the Highgrove shop. The Tetbury Goods Shed, a thriving, creative Arts Centre set in a renovated Victorian railway building lies just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre. Further afield the lush, rolling countryside that surrounds Tetbury is home to a stunning array of attractions from the National Arboretum at Westonbirt to the glorious Elizabethan Chavenage House, the Arts & Crafts Manor at Rodmarton, and HRH Prince of Wales’ unique garden at Highgrove.

WINCHCOMBE Famous as a centre for walkers thanks to its Walkers are Welcome status, timeless Winchcombe is home to Cotswold stone cottages standing side by side with distinctive black and white half-timbered buildings. With wonderful food shops, traditional retailers, boutique clothing and interiors, you can lose yourself in narrow alleyways, staying or dining in the historic pubs, indulging in afternoon tea in a local café or while away the time browsing the local galleries and antique shops. And don’t miss historic Sudeley Castle – just a gentle stroll from the town centre.

WITNEY The largest market town in the Cotswolds, Witney’s architecture reflects its past prosperity from the wool trade including the 17th century Buttercross, the church of St Mary the Virgin and the fine tree-bordered green. The town has a bustling atmosphere with a unique blend of shops, including the recently restored Blanket Hall and Pie Shop, a twice weekly market and plenty of annual festivals. There are lots of green spaces to enjoy and just a short walk from the town centre lies Cogges, an historic farmstead with a fascinating story. Witney is also perfectly placed for a visit to Oxford city by public transport.

Rousham Rousham is one of Britain’s most unspoilt and undiscovered landscape gardens and was named by garden writer and broadcaster Monty Don as one of his favourite gardens in the country. Designed by William Kent in the 18th century, Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains largely unaltered since its conception. The gardens are dotted with classical features and delightfully situated statues and temples. Highlights include the ponds and cascades in Venus’ Vale, the Cold Bath, the seven arched Praeneste, and on the skyline, a sham ruin known as the ‘Eyecatcher’.

Don’t miss the pretty walled garden with its herbaceous borders, small parterre, pigeon house and espalier apple trees. Rousham is uncommercial and unspoilt with no tearoom and no shop. Bring a picnic, wear comfortable shoes and it is yours for the day. Please note: children under 15 and dogs are not permitted. Rousham OX25 4QU 01869 347110 www.rousham.org Opening times Garden: Open daily, all year, 10am-4.30pm (last entry) House: Groups by arrangement any day from May to September (inclusive)

BROADWAY TOWER COTSWOLDS


The name Cotswolds is reported to come from cot, meaning sheep enclosure, and wold, meaning hill. This area has been famous for its wool production since the middle ages, but you’ll find long barrows and hilltop forts dating back to ancient times.

ANCIENT HISTORY Painswick Beacon, a former Celtic hilltop fort, the Rollright Stones, an ancient stone circle, and Belas Knap, a Stone Age long barrow, all have a fascinating history. They also make beautiful locations for walks and picnics.

ARTS & CRAFTS The Cotswolds landscape has long inspired artists and craftspeople, with William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement settling in the Cotswolds. Discover more in Chipping Campden and Broadway, as well as visiting the thriving arts industry that exists today.

DON’T BE SHEEPISH The building of Cotswold churches and manor houses was often financed from the great wealth generated by the wool trade. Discover where wool was processed in the Stroud Valleys by visiting Gigg Mill or Dunkirk Mill near Nailsworth. Cotswold Woollen Weavers, in Filkins, houses a small textile museum, design studio and shop dedicated to traditionally woven cloth. A ROYAL REALM Kings and queens throughout the centuries have made their mark on the Cotswolds: discover the tomb of Henry VIII’s queen, Katherine Parr, at Sudeley Castle; visit Berkeley Castle where King Edward II met his grizzly end; and stay at Thornbury Castle in the room used by Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn on their honeymoon.

MEDIEVAL TEWKESBURY Ruled by just three medieval families for hundreds of years, Tewkesbury was the site of the penultimate and decisive battle of the War of the Roses. Step back in time as you follow the Battle Trail through areas such as Bloody Meadow or visit in July to watch the battle re-enacted in a world-renowned festival.
