Visiting the heart of the Cotswolds
– a great location
Expect nothing short of incredible Cotswolds views over the Stroud Valley when you head off for a walk. Especially Rodborough Common and Minchinhampton Common are vast with spacious grass lands on a high plateau with stunning views.
The name Cotswolds is probably derived from two English words ‘Cots’ which means sheep enclosures and ‘Wolds’ which means gentle hills. The region’s history dates back to the Bronze and Iron Age and a lot of Roman history. From the Middle Ages onwards, the Cotswolds became wealthy from the wool trade. Rich merchants built many of the beautiful churches and houses still around today – one of which is Burleigh Court.
