Some things are just so typically English. Afternoon tea and cake, stifling politeness and the Cotswolds. If you are looking to experience English culture, traditions and adventure then this is the place to visit.



What can you expect to see when you get there?


Hills. Or wolds, to be more precise, which is how the area came by its clever name. There are plenty of sheep and cattle to be seen here as well, as it is after all a farmer’s landscape. There are all manners of wildlife, plant and animal, to enjoy too.



What can you expect to learn there?


This area of England is chock-a-block full of history and stories. There are many towns and villages to visit and almost each is home to its own historical figure or worldwide celebrity. Bath is synonymous with Jane Austen, author of Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey. Winston Churchill’s birthplace of Blenheim Palace in Woodstock is a wonderful manor house open to the public, and Dr Edward Jenner, credited with formulating the vaccination that treated cowpox and smallpox, has a museum dedicated to his work in his old home, The Chantry in Berkeley.



What can you expect to do there?


That all depends on the sort of getaway you are looking for. There is no end to the number of walks that you can enjoy; be prepared for fresh air and new smells, this is nothing like the smoggy city! You can also enjoy plenty of wildlife parks, one which is set against an idyllic manor home, except that there are rhinos on the lawn and penguins in the back! That’s a real treat for the kids. But if you’re not much of an adventurer and instead prefer the peace and quiet then there are lots of lovely hotels or spas which offer relaxing and rejuvenating treatments – and don’t forget the Roman baths!



What can you expect to eat?


It may not be an obvious choice at first but when you think about it, the English love to eat and drink just as much as the French, the Italians or even the Americans, they just always seem to end up in a pub. And there are loads on offer here, from snug listed buildings to traditional tea rooms or gastro-pubs with all the mod cons. Whatever you are after, you will find it. Luxury dining or simple sophistication; it’s all here.
