Cotswold
The Cotswolds is a picturesque region with charming villages, rolling hills, and stunning landscapes. Its quintessential English beauty never fails to captivate visitors. From exploring quaint villages like Bourton-on-the-Water to hiking along scenic trails, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The Cotswolds also boasts a rich history, with historic landmarks such as Blenheim Palace and Sudeley Castle adding to its allure. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, history buff, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, the Cotswolds offers an unforgettable experience.
Bourton-on-the-Water, known as 'Little Venice', is the most popular village in the Cotswolds
The clear Windrush River runs through the entire village and gently flows into the Thames River, with five low stone arch bridges spanning across it, each with a history of over two hundred years.
The water of the Windrush River is shallow and crystal clear, with lush green trees lining the banks. A friend said this place is like the water towns of the Jiangnan region in China. Upon closer observation, it does resemble the water towns of Jiangnan, but with an added touch of spirituality. Old houses built along the river, small bridges over flowing water, restaurants, cafes, and bars are hidden within these old houses, with leisurely tourists sitting at the entrances. These houses, each with a history of hundreds of years, bear the marks of history on their mottled stone walls.
Groups of visitors stroll by the river or casually sit on wooden chairs to enjoy the sunshine, composing a beautiful painting of the English countryside with the surrounding green trees and stone houses.
After spending several days in the Cotswolds, Bourton-on-the-Water left the deepest impression on me, its very name is memorable. I really like the atmosphere of this little village; it's relaxed, simple, and comfortable, and it's much more beautiful than Venice~

TheTravelingSuitcase (@thetravelingsuitcasee) Cotswolds - Medieval villages 🇬🇧🏰
Lovely old towns to visit in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. Highly recommend to do road trip, if you are traveling from London, you could spend a day in Oxford first, next day can go from Bourton-on-the-Water -> Bibury -> Castle Combe and the destination could be Bath or Bristol. This is something you dun wanna miss!! #unitedkingdom #travel
Visiting the Cotswolds ♥️🇬🇧
If you are into countryside living or enjoy a quiet escape, you must have heard of the Cotswolds - a chain of super picturesque villages - in England.
The Cotswolds is one of the most 'quintessentially English' and unspoiled regions of England where you cannot help but fall in love with the uniqueness of it. I stayed there for a long weekend, stayed in a hotel near Cheltenham and visited Bourton on the Water and the Trout Farm Bibury in Cirencester. I have to note that I discovered the area by car as travelling to the Cotswolds and exploring by train can be complicated though not impossible!
In my opinion, the best towns + villages to see in the Cotswolds include - Bourton-on-the-Water, Cirencester, Arlington Row, Stow-on-the-Wold and Whichford. Make sure to also stop by one of the many farms around and get some organic goodies...

Bourton-on-the-water is known as the "Venice" of the Cotswolds. It can be seen from this name that this small village is best known for its Windrush River flowing through the village. The creek is crystal clear, runs from west to east across the village, and eventually merges into the Thames. The rivers and trees on both sides of the river are lined with trees. The bridge connects the village with more than a hundred years of history on the banks of the river. The lush green trees and the colorful novelty shops are just too cold!
