😎 Idyllic Cotswold Getaway for the Summer 😎

DATES: 27MAY22-30MAY22

6 people sharing this gorgeous 3 bedroom cottage from
✨ £1,514 TOTAL ✨

The honey coloured stone buildings, wisteria-adorned doorways and misty green hills of pretty Painswick couldn't get more Hollywood movie set if it tried.

In fact, this town is so disarmingly attractive that it's known as the Queen of the Cotswolds. Well, adjust your crown because we've got a very princely stay right here for you. This 16th-century cottage is in the heart of the town, opposite the legendary 99 Yew Trees Church with its magnificent yew trees (can you take a wild guess how many?).

Once inside you'll feel like a modern-day Henry VIII thanks to exposed stonework, regal purple sofas, aged wooden beams and hefty wooden beds.

Treat yourself to a luxurious soak in the freestanding, roll-top bath before hunkering down with a glass of red in front of the flickering log fire set in a glorious traditional inglenook fireplace.

The very private, very sunny courtyard garden is a delight, with lush, mature trees and immaculately manicured shrubs creating that Hampton Court Palace garden feel - albeit on a much smaller scale. It's a right royal escape.

When you think of an idyllic English countryside scene – rolling hills, honey-coloured cottages, thatched pubs – the chances are, you’re imagining the Cotswolds!

Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, this bucolic region is known for its whimsy and treacly pace of life.

A walker’s paradise crisscrossed by the 102-mile Cotswold Way, rambling here is to step in an English Arcadia immortalised in poetry, painting and film.

Explore the northern area for the ‘Costwolds Golden Triangle’ of Chipping Norton, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold, or head for the less touristy boltholes of Cirencester, Stroud, Painswick and the Slad Valley, where the scenery is wilder, and watersports thrive in the Cotswolds Water Park.

The south, meanwhile, invites visits to notable National Trust parks and the beautiful villages of Castle Combe and Bradford Upon Avon. No matter where you choose to visit here, the Costwolds promise an enchanting storybook escape.

❤️Information on The Cotswold ❤️
The name Cotswold is popularly attributed the meaning "sheep enclosure in rolling hillsides",[18][19] incorporating the term, wold, meaning hills. Compare also the Weald from the Saxon/German word Wald meaning 'forest'. However, the English Place-Name Society has for many years accepted that the term Cotswold is derived from Codesuualt of the 12th century or other variations on this form, the etymology of which was given, 'Cod's-wold', which is 'Cod's high open land'.[20] Cod was interpreted as an Old English personal name, which may be recognised in further names: Cutsdean, Codeswellan, and Codesbyrig, some of which date back to the eighth century AD.[21] It has subsequently been noticed that "Cod" could derive philologically from a Brittonic female cognate "Cuda", a hypothetical mother goddess in Celtic mythology postulated to have been worshipped in the Cotswold region.[22][23]

The spine of the Cotswolds runs southwest to northeast through six counties, particularly Gloucestershire, west Oxfordshire and southwestern Warwickshire. The northern and western edges of the Cotswolds are marked by steep escarpments down to the Severn valley and the Warwickshire Avon. This feature, known as the Cotswold escarpment, or sometimes the Cotswold Edge, is a result of the uplifting (tilting) of the limestone layer, exposing its broken edge.[24] This is a cuesta, in geological terms. The dip slope is to the southeast.
On the eastern boundary lies the city of Oxford and on the west is Stroud. To the southeast, the upper reaches of the Thames Valley and towns such as Lechlade, Tetbury, and Fairford are often considered to mark the limit of this region. To the south the Cotswolds, with the characteristic uplift of the Cotswold Edge, reach beyond Bath, and towns such as Chipping Sodbury and Marshfield share elements of Cotswold character.
The area is characterised by attractive small towns and villages built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone).[24] This limestone is rich in fossils, particularly of fossilised sea urchins. Cotswold towns include Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway, Burford, Chipping Campden, Chipping Norton, Cricklade, Dursley, Malmesbury, Moreton-in-Marsh, Nailsworth, Northleach, Stow-on-the-Wold, Stroud, Witney, and Winchcombe. In addition, much of Box lies in the Cotswolds. Bath, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester, Stroud, and Swindon are larger urban centres that border on, or are virtually surrounded by, the Cotswold AONB.
The town of Chipping Campden is notable for being the home of the Arts and Crafts movement, founded by William Morris at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.[25] William Morris lived occasionally in Broadway Tower, a folly, now part of a country park.[26] Chipping Campden is also known for the annual Cotswold Olimpick Games, a celebration of sports and games dating back to the early 17th century.[27]
Of the nearly 800 square miles (2,100 km2) of the Cotswolds, roughly eighty percent is farmland.[28] There are over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) of footpaths and bridleways. There are also 4,000 miles (6,400 km) of historic stone walls.[10]

❤️Facts on Warwickshire ❤️
Warwickshire is a landlocked county in the West Midlands of England. The county town is Warwick, although the largest town is Nuneaton. The county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

Warwickshire is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon. Even today, road signs at the county boundary describe Warwickshire as "Shakespeare's County".

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Warwickshire takes its county name from its hub town, Warwick. The town lies upon the River Avon which continues to flow further down throughout the South West, and is famous for its castle and popular university.

❤️💛All about Somerset 💛❤️
Somerset is a county in South West England which borders Gloucestershire and Bristol to the north, Wiltshire to the east, Dorset to the south-east and Devon to the south-west. It is bounded to the north and west by the Severn Estuary and the Bristol Channel, its coastline facing southeastern Wales

Somerset is renowned for its cheddar cheese and cider. A wealth of apple orchards once made Somerset the cider capital of the UK, whilst the Cheddar Gorge caves are still used to mature cheese today.

All you need to know about Somerset

The diverse county of Somerset can be found nestling in the South West of England. During your holiday in Somerset, you will find a great array of beaches, local produce and fantastic visitor attractions.
Where is Somerset?
Somerset lies in the heart of the South West, bordering Bristol and Gloucestershire to the north, Wiltshire to the East, Dorset to the South East and Devon to the South West. Best known for its rolling hills and green pastures, as well as coastal seaside resorts, it is a popular holiday destination with a variety of iconic landmarks and monuments to discover.
Population
There are approximately 530,000 people living in Somerset and the population growth in the county is higher than average. More than 25% of the county’s residents live in Bridgwater, Taunton and Yeovil.
Brief history
Somerset’s history dates as far back as the Palaeolithic period with many archaeological sites throughout the county. The caves of the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge have all revealed fascinating insights into the history of the county, including the Cheddar Man, which is a complete human skeleton dating back as far as 7150 BC.
Since then, Somerset has been inhabited by numerous settlements during the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age times. Romans invaded in AD 47 and remained part of the empire until the end of their ruling in AD 409. The country was next invaded by the Anglo-Saxons, although Somerset and the rest of the South West managed to avoid the takeover until the early eighth century.
The Norman Conquest followed and saw the er****on of Dunster Castle, amongst other fortifications. Somerset is also home to HMP Shepton Mallet, England’s oldest prison that is still in use, which opened in 1610. During the English Civil War, those in Somerset mostly favoured the parliamentarians with Taunton Castle changing hands several times during the war.
Somerset was largely unaffected by the Industrial Revolution and farming continued to flourish during this time. However, coal mining did become an important industry during the 18th and 19thcentury although all pits were closed by 1973.

❤️❤️All about Yorkshire ❤️❤️
Yorkshire is a historic county in northern England. It’s known for its Roman and Viking heritage, as well as its Norman castles, medieval abbeys, Industrial Revolution-era cities and 2 national parks. The county town of York, founded by the Romans, is home to 13th-century cathedral York Minster, Tudor houses and medieval walls. The interactive Jorvik Viking Centre recalls the area’s 9th-century Norse occupation.

Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom.[3] Because of its great size in comparison with other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographic territory and cultural region.[4] The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military,[5] and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Within the borders of the historic county of Yorkshire are large stretches of unspoiled countryside, particularly within the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Peak District national parks.[6] Yorkshire has been nicknamed "God's Own Country".[4][7][8]
The emblem of Yorkshire is the White Rose of the English royal House of York, and the most commonly used flag representative of Yorkshire is the white rose on a blue field[9] which, after nearly fifty years of use, was recognised by the Flag Institute on 29 July 2008.[10] Yorkshire Day, held annually on 1 August, is a celebration of the general culture of Yorkshire, ranging from its history to its dialect.[11]
Yorkshire is covered by different Government Office Regions. Most of the county falls within Yorkshire and the Humber while the extreme northern part of the county, such as Middlesbrough, Redcar, Holwick and Startforth, falls within North East England. Small areas in the west of the county are covered by the North West England region.

❤️❤️information on Liverpool ❤️❤️
Liverpool is a maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea. A key trade and migration port from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, it's also, famously, the hometown of The Beatles. Ferries cruise the waterfront, where the iconic mercantile buildings known as the "Three Graces" – Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building – stand on the Pier Head

The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood.

Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, England. With a population of 498,042 in 2019, it is the tenth largest English district by population,[9][10] and its metropolitan area is the fifth largest in the United Kingdom with a population of 2.24 million.[11]
Situated on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary, Liverpool historically lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in the county of Lancashire.[12][13] It became a borough in 1207, a city in 1880, and a county borough independent of the newly-created Lancashire County Council in 1889. Its growth as a major port was paralleled by the expansion of the city throughout the Industrial Revolution. Along with general cargo, freight, and raw materials such as coal and cotton, merchants were involved in the slave trade. In the 19th century, Liverpool was a major port of departure for English and Irish emigrants to North America. It was also home to both the Cunard and White Star Lines, and was the port of registry of the ocean liners RMS Titanic, RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Mary, and RMS Olympic.
In 2019, Liverpool was the fifth most visited UK city.[14] It is noted for its culture, architecture, and transport links. The city is closely associated with the arts, especially music; the popularity of the Beatles, widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, led to it becoming a tourist destination.[15] Liverpool has continued to be the home of numerous notable musicians and record labels—musicians from the city have released 56 No. 1 hit singles, more than any other city in the world.[16][17] The city also has a long-standing reputation for producing countless actors and actresses, artists, athletes, comedians, journalists, novelists, and poets. Liverpool has the second highest number of art galleries, national museums, listed buildings, and listed parks in the UK; only the capital, London, has more.[18] The former Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City includes the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and William Brown Street.[19] In sports, the city is best known for being the home of Premier League football teams Liverpool FC and Everton FC, with matches between the two rivals being known as the Merseyside derby. The annual Grand National horse race takes place at Aintree Racecourse.
Several areas of Liverpool city centre carried World Heritage Site status from 2004 until 2021, and the city's vast collection of parks and open spaces has been described as the "most important in the country" by England's Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest.[20] Its status as a port city historically attracted a diverse population from a wide range of cultures, primarily Ireland, Norway, and Wales. It is also home to the oldest black community in the UK and the oldest Chinese community in Europe. Natives of Liverpool (and some longtime residents) are formally referred to as "Liverpudlians" but are more often called "Scousers" in reference to Scouse, a local stew made popular by sailors in the city, which is also the most common name for the local accent and dialect. The city celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007 and was named the 2008 European Capital of Culture, which it shared with the Norwegian city of Stavanger,[21] and its status as the European Capital of Culture has been credited with kickstarting its economic renaissance.

Liverpool city centre is the commercial, cultural, financial and historical centre of Liverpool, England.
