THE COTSWOLDS

Following our cruise through the Baltic's we rented a car and headed for England's famed Cotswolds.

The"Cotswolds" refers to a region of gentle hilly English countryside occupying an area between Gloucester, Bath, Oxford and Stratford.

Because of it's many old homes, villages and beautiful rural settings, the Cotswolds have become one of England's favorite destinations for locals and overseas visitors alike.

The following is a photo record of some of the castles, manor homes and gardens we visited on our driving tour.
