Cream of the Cotswolds

Conjuring images of an idyllic lifestyle surrounded by verdant rolling hills dotted with the sheep that brought its fortune, endless afternoon teas in the picturesque honey-hued towns and villages and hours spent admiring stately homes and castles, the Cotswolds really is a walking cliché.

One of the most ‘quintessentially English’ and unspoilt regions, it is definitely a place that captures the hearts of those who visit, and cliché or no, its popularity is well-deserved. 

The pace of life is getting increasingly more frantic, and for many, the appeal of the Cotswolds is that sense of almost going back to rural basics (with all the mod cons that we could not live without!).  Sit back, relax and enjoy uninterrupted views of the landscape as it flows past on a cloud of steam on the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway to Toddington.  Enjoy a leisurely trip to Sudeley Castle and Gardens, which is referred to as the hidden gem of the Cotswolds and has something for everyone – whether you have a keen interest in history, eye for architecture and striking ruins or simply wish to enjoy the stunning backdrop surrounded by sweeping grounds and gardens that flourish all year round.
