Oxford to Bath

[Return to the Heart of England Index]

This touring route will taken you through one of England’s most popular attractions, the
picture-perfect chocolate-box-top villages of the Cotswold Hills. The Cotswolds form a
steeply-sided spine that stretches from just south of Stratford to just south of Bath, thus
they will be your constant companion on this journey.

Mellow, honey-coloured stone buildings are the enduring image of the villages in this famous
region. William Morris described the Cotswolds village of Bibury as the most beautiful in England
but it is only one of a number like it. Stow-on-the Wold makes a great base to linger for at least a
day among these quintessential English towns.
