Great holiday ideas and walks in the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is one of the country’s prettiest regions, full of quaint villages, winding lanes and some top pubs and restaurants.

Being located north-east of Bristol, the Cotswolds is a landlocked area, and consequently a little quieter than the traditional summer holiday destinations, making it a perfect place to visit if you’re looking for some peace and quiet.

The Cotswolds is also a year-round gem – so you’re not restricted to high season only – with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. Check out these leisurely walks, perfect for discovering this fab region.

Taking the train to the Cotswolds is a simple and stress-free way to visit the area. Starting from several GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) train stations located within the Cotswolds, including Charlbury, Stroud and Moreton-in-Marsh, Cotswolds National Landscape has created downloadable Cotswold Gateways walks to explore the surrounding countryside of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB▸ (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)) so you can easily discover hidden corners, epic views, historic sites, and a rich diversity of wildlife.

It's all right to take it off for the lashings of ginger beer!

Only FOUR might need face masks, dogs are exempt.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

And if outdoors, or sat on a pub table indoors or out. The powers that be seem to have an ever relaxing policy now, despite the Indian variant, and just heard the YORKSHIRE variant, wonder what thats attributes are!
