Its proximity to London makes the Cotswolds a perfect destination for weekend breaks. Attracting visitors from all over the world, all year round, this beautiful part of Central England is the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in England and Wales. Often referred to as the 'Heart of England', the Cotswolds is one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations with a huge choice of accommodation and cottages to rent. With its dry stone walls that once formed enclosures for the sheep, buildings that were formerly factories for processing wool and market squares approached by narrow little alleyways where the sheep were once driven through to market. The landscape in the Cotswolds still holds much evidence of its history in the wool trade. Its long history in the wool industry generated much wealth which resulted in building the many fine houses that the Cotswolds is so famous for today. Steeped in history, the Cotswolds gained many of its settlements from the mediaeval sheep trade.
