The hills of the Cotswolds of Gloucestershire start just south of Stratford, in fact Ilmington is the only Warwickshire town in the Cotswolds.  

 

Chipping Campden is the the the first major town, an old woollen market town, where woollen merchants traded for hundreds of years. As you will see should you choose to visit Chipping Campden, the town, unaffected by the industrial revolution, enables you to enjoy old England as it was since the 1700's. The Cotswolds are famous for the honey-blond stone buildings. The whole town of Chipping Campden is built of it, and is a typical example of the entire district. 

 

Why not explore slightly further afield and seek out the delights of Snowshill, Broadway, Moreton in Marsh  and much more.
