A ubiquitous term you&#8217;ve certainly become acquainted with over the course of your reading about England. For it&#8217;s simply not possible to even begin to appropriately describe the Cotswolds and forego\u00a0the adjective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all I know it probably originated right here, in southern England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located just a few hours outside London, the Cotswolds is the kind of place you go to explore villages on foot, indulge in a cheeky cream tea and a scone (or two, or three) and immerse yourself in the complex history the region famous for its abundance of honey-coloured cottages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of Cotswolds villages you simply cannot miss, either because of their significance or their sheer visual appeal (totally a valid reason). Also included: a few useful tips for planning your itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_a7d484-f8

This is largely due to the impressive High Street sweeping downhill towards the River Windrush. It&#8217;s flanked by a continuous ensemble of gourmet boutiques, ancient pubs and other shops \u2014one of which, a chemist\u2019s since 1734, is said to be England\u2019s oldest pharmacy\u2014 on either side of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notable is the Tolsey building situated halfway down the High Street. It&#8217;s Tudor in style, with striking\u00a0black and white timber. Additionally, it used to be a meeting point for wool merchants that would come here to pay their taxes and discuss their respective guilds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another historical point of interest is the Burford Church, which was built over 800 years ago by wealthy merchants; it was more recently used as a temporary prison \u2014and, tragically, a merciless execution site\u2014 by Oliver Cromwell after the English Civil War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab a pint of local cider on one of the many sprawling terraces. Walk into that heavenly-smelling cheese shop. Or, better yet, sit down for tea at Huffkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"dropcap\">The Slaughters<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P4101295-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Most Beautiful Cotswolds Villages -

It&#8217;s nonetheless a superb landmark that is well worth stepping into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chipping Campden&#8217;s high street is slightly more peculiar than that of its neighbouring towns, because it curves in a shallow arc revealing ostentatiously-embellished houses. Another testament to the prosperous and lucrative wool trade in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay special attention to the beautiful thatched-roof cottages on the periphery of Chipping Campden. These are some of the most expensive and sought-after properties in England!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"dropcap\">Batsford Arboretum<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-38-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"Battsford Arboretum - things to do in the Cotswolds\" data-id=\"25700\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-38.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/most-beautiful-cotswolds-villages-38\/\" class=\"wp-image-25700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-38-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-38-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-38-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-38.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Batsford-Arboretum-England-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"Battsford Arboretum - things to do in the Cotswolds\" data-id=\"25665\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Batsford-Arboretum-England.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/batsford-arboretum-england\/\" class=\"wp-image-25665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Batsford-Arboretum-England-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Batsford-Arboretum-England-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Batsford-Arboretum-England-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Batsford-Arboretum-England.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to be missed nearby, too, is the stunning 55-acre\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.batsarb.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Batsford Arboretum<\/a>.

This seductive village is definitely the one you&#8217;ve been seeing on literally every single postcard of the region. Ducks quacking on the canals, crooked stone houses with attractive bakeries, vintage shops and tea rooms, elderly ladies gossiping on a park bench. Bourton on the Water hits all the right notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try and avoid lunchtime and early afternoons in Bourton on the Water. This is when coaches upon coaches upon coaches filled with tourists on a group day trip from London. It would be best to go in the morning or later afternoon and get the village to yourself (and the far less invasive, much friendlier locals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"dropcap\">Bibury<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"Cotswolds Villages\" class=\"wp-image-23429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P4110068-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-33-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"Most Beautiful Cotswolds Villages - Bibury\" data-id=\"25695\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-33.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/most-beautiful-cotswolds-villages-33\/\" class=\"wp-image-25695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-33-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-33-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-33-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-33.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Most Beautiful Cotswolds Villages - Bibury\" data-id=\"25693\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/most-beautiful-cotswolds-villages-31\/\" class=\"wp-image-25693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-Beautiful-Cotswolds-Villages-31.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cotswolds-Villages-Bibury-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cotswolds Villages - Bibury\" class=\"wp-image-26908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cotswolds-Villages-Bibury-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cotswolds-Villages-Bibury-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cotswolds-Villages-Bibury-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cotswolds-Villages-Bibury.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Bibury<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to Bibury! A minuscule civil parish, perhaps the tiniest in this selection. But it&#8217;s also home to the emblematic Arlington Row situated on River Coln, a tributary of the Thames.
