	Cotswolds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cotswolds is the name given to a range of hills in central England, sometimes called the "Heart of England", a hilly area reaching over 300 m or 1000 feet.
		The northern and western edges of the Cotswolds are marked by steep escarpments down to the Severn valley and the Avon.
		The Cotswold village of Chipping Campden is notable for being the home of the Arts and Crafts movement, founded by William Morris at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

	The Cotswold HyperGuide - History and Lore
		The Roman villas in the Cotswold area were built from the distinctive local stone and were not so very different in size or purpose from the great manor houses which still stand.

	Cotswolds : Introduction \| Frommers.com
		The gentry didn't neglect spiritual duties, for some of the simplest Cotswold hamlets have churches that, in style and architectural detail, seem far beyond their modest means.
		Since Cotswold wool was once sold all over the world and wealthy merchants used some of the money to build these churches, they are sometimes referred to as "wool churches."
		You'll also see some thatched cottages in the Cotswolds, which are fiercely protected by local bylaws, yet endlessly impractical because of their need for frequent repair, maintenance, and replacement.

	Rick Steves' Europe: Cotswold Villages
		The Cotswold region, a 25-by-50-mile chunk of Gloucestershire, is a sightseeing treat: crisscrossed with hedgerows, raisined with storybook villages, and sprinkled with sheep.
		As with many fairy-tale regions of Europe, the present-day beauty of the Cotswolds was the result of an economic disaster.
		Chatty locals, while ever so polite, commonly rescue themselves from a gossipy tangent by saying, "It's all very...ummm...yyya." Rich people open their gardens to support their favorite charities, while the less couth enjoy "badger baiting" (a gambling cousin of cockfighting where a badger, with its teeth and claws taken out, is mangled by dogs).

		Antiquing the 'Wolds-- If ever there were an English fantasy, it's to drive the country back roads of the Cotswolds, stay in a manor house hotel, and spend your days browsing the villages, ignoring the touristy teddy-bear shops, and concentrating on the antiques shops densely packed into these old market towns.
		For the most part, antiques in the Cotswolds are about patina and provenance -- really serious stuff.
		The best town in the Cotswolds, especially for antiques shoppers, is Stow-on-the-Wold; with far more to it than a high street.
