790 SQUARE MILES OF WOW!

XXXXXX

The Cotswolds is located in South Central England and spans 790 glorious square miles across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire and Warwickshire. The region’s most iconic landmark is of course the rolling Cotswolds Hills, but it’s also famed for its picturesque villages, river valleys, beech woods and lush green meadows.

STOW’S HISTORIC WOOL FAIRS

Since 1107, Stow has been renowned for hosting markets and fairs. Although many types of goods were traditionally traded, the high quality of locally farmed sheep positioned the town at the centre of the region’s wool trade. Daniel Defoe even recorded that 20,000 sheep changed hands at one 18th-century fair!
