I understand that the Cotswolds is an obvious choice for a fabulous destination but if writing a blog on "beautiful things" it needs to be included.
I have family that lives near here so every few months I am lucky enough to get the opportunity to go through this lovely part of the country. From Moreton in the Marsh to Bourton on the Water (my personal favourite). It adds a real smile on my face as I drive through these villages, its the old cliche of being like something from an Agatha Christie novel. Because of this experience I decide to explore the area further and have had trips to Broadway, a Christmas stop over in Burford and the Slaughters. Not sure I class Stratford upon Avon and Oxford as the Cotswolds....? But they are worth a visit too. For me my favourite time of the year is autumn when you can wrap up warm in the late sunshine and take in the individual little gift shops, coffee shops, old book shops. Or I always try to have a Christmas stop over. Who wouldn't like a warm toddy in an intimate pub with a roaring fire. I suppose look at the cluster of celebrities living in the area, it has real appeal.
