No matter which part of the Cotswolds you visit, you’re in for a treat! The Cotswolds boast peaceful countryside landscapes and historic villages, each with its own charm and take on England.

For couples seeking a relaxing experience in the English countryside, I suggest spending a weekend in the city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Avon Valley, known for its Roman-built baths. An ideal destination for avid cyclists and walkers, stroll or bike past various little shops while admiring the Georgian architecture, and enjoy a hike up in Solsbury Hill for outstanding views of the city and endless green pastures.

The nearby town of Tetbury is the perfect destination for antique shoppers looking for unique and local items to bring back home. Wander through the many independent, high-end boutiques known for selling high-quality wool products — one of the specialties of the area.

Foodies will find their haven in Stow-on-the-Wold, a little market village offering an extensive variety of local food shops. Enjoy a cup of tea at Huffkins, known for its tearoom and delicious bakery products. Many visitors choose to bring a selection of goodies home to re-create the quintessential afternoon tea experience for family and friends.
