For anyone with an interest in architecture, the Cotswolds has an enormous amount to offer. First and foremost is Cotswold vernacular architecture traditional cottages, barns, farmhouses, and manor houses - all built in the golden limestone for which this area is famous.

Apart from the limestone there are many other details to look for, whether a charmingly carved window frame or an exceptionally well-cut piece of stone but above all, it is the organic, unspoilt nature of these villages that gives them their particular charm.

Some of England¹s finest churches are here in Cotswolds. There are too many to list but among the most interesting are those built by wealthy medieval wool merchants (wool churches). The largest parish church in England is here. So too, is one of Europe¹s greatest cathedrals, not to mention Europe¹s largest Norman tower.

By contrast there is the complete Georgian town of Bath, Regency Cheltenham, a country house built in Mughal style and much else. Please contact us if you would like to feature architecture in any holiday we organise for you in the Cotswolds.
