And lots of Manor Houses, Snowshill on the right, is now owned by the National Trust
One of the great things about the Cotswolds. is that the distances are not great, and within 10 miles of, say, Stow-on-the-Wold you could find a dozen small villages, each with its own charm.

honey coloured stone villages, and rolling countryside | |
| Ancient market towns, each with the old market hall still there. This is at Tetbury | |
|
|
Wool brought great wealth to the area in the Middle Ages,
hence the large "wool" churches that seem too big for the village
they serve. Northleach church on left

| Sudeley Castle still has the family living there (its near Winchcombe) | |
|
| And Warwick Castle is probably the best preserved of the Norman castles in England | |
