More info about travel to the Cotswolds: www.ricksteves.com/europe/eng... As with many fairy-tale regions in Europe, the present-day beauty of England's Cotswolds was the result of an economic disaster - in this case, the collapse of the wool industry. The fine Cotswold towns fell into a time warp, creating a rustic charm that is the basis of today's new prosperity from tourism.

Nothing - and I mean, really, absolutely nothing - is more extraordinary in Britain than the beauty of the countryside. Nowhere in the world is there a landscape that has been more intensively utilised - more mined, farmed, quarried, covered with cities and clanging factories, threaded with motorways and railway lines - and yet remains so comprehensively and reliably lovely over most of its extent. It is the happiest accident in history..........US born author Bill Bryson

The old pub near the head of the Thames named 'Trouble House'. Further south towards Somerset, the village of Temple Cloud. I do love living here.
