Spreading across Worcestershire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds are an area of outstanding natural beauty that everyone should visit at least once. Here are some of the most stunning villages you’ll discover that can also be found at the start of the alphabet:
Bibury
Bibury is situated on the River Coln. Arlington Row is located in this Cotswold Village. Built in 1380, these cottages are known as some of the most beautiful and photographed in the UK. For Cotswold Tours, visit a Cotswold Tour company who specialise in Cotswold Tours.
Bourton-on-the-Water
Bourton-on-the-water, one of the Cotswolds’ smaller villages, is centred around a narrow stretch of the River Windrush. This village is nicknamed ‘The Venice of the Cotswolds’ because of the many little bridges that cross the middle.
Along the stream on either side, traditional bungalows are lined with gift shops, antiquarians, bakeries and pubs. The locals of Bourton-on-the-Water play traditional river football in the summer. This is a centuries-old custom.
Broadway
The village of Broadway, located in Worcestershire is one of the largest Cotswolds villages on this list. The beautiful wisteria-draped shops and cottages are some of its most distinctive features.
The artist William Morris was known to visit Broadway many times and use Broadway Tower to escape the busy city and infuse new inspiration into his works.
Burford
The Hill in Burford is home to quaint Cotswold Cottages. Burford is a mediaeval village in Oxfordshire that has been described as the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’ and one of the prettiest towns in England. It’s filled with charming antiquarian shops and boutiques. There are also 12th-century churches and thatched roof cottages.
