The Cotswolds is one of the most popular locations for tourists to visit in the UK – offering a picturesque landscape, pretty little villages that seem to belong to a different age and great local attractions too.
In the winter, most places are less busy, and this includes the Cotswolds, which can become very busy in the Spring or summer months. This makes winter a great time to go and visit and get to know the area. You can even take a tour with a professional like this Cotswold tours company //cotswoldtour.co.uk – here are some of the things that you might be interested in doing in the Cotswolds over the winter months.
One of the most beautiful scenes in the Cotswolds over the winter is the arrival of the snowdrops. The carpets of white flowers herald the arrival of the Spring and there are many places to go and see this beautiful spectacle over the winter. Painswick’s Rococo Garden is a great place to go, as is Batsford Arboretum in Moreton in Marsh.
If you want to get out of the cold and explore some local history and indoor attractions then there are plenty of things to enjoy to suit any interests – from the Cotswold Motoring museum for those who love classic and interesting vehicles, to the Wilson art gallery in Cheltenham and of course the Coronium Roman museum in Cirencester.
You can also visit the small villages and towns in the area when there is less traffic and less people. Stow on the Wold, Bibury and Bourton in the Water are all pretty places to wander around and explore unique independent shops.
