The Cotswolds region in England personifies country quaintness.
With names like Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh and
Stow-on-the-Wold, the Cotswold towns and villages have a
fairy-tale-like air, with small bridges over shallow rivers,
colourful gardens leading up to thatched cottages and
Morris-dancing in the town square. Here, life doesn't seem to
change much over the centuries, and the inhabitants of its cottages
and manors appear to retain a pastoral naivety. It's hard not to
feel the rural tranquillity, and visitors may well feel as though
they've stepped into one of Constable's paintings. Due to their
proximity to Stratford-Upon-Avon and Oxford, Cotswold
Bed-and-Breakfasts are a popular choice with tourists.
