••• Seek your sanctuary •••

This quiet corner of England isnt just about country pubs and cracking cream teas - although youll find tempting helpings of both. The Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with show-stopping landscapes from ancient woodland to rolling hills. Walkers can discover trails aplenty including 100 miles of The Cotswold Way or get a birds eye view aboard a hot air balloon. Foodies will be in their element as fine dining - fuelled with fresh, locally grown ingredients - has really taken off here. No wonder the Cotswolds attracts more than 23 million visitors every year.

With this guide in hand, you can experience the Cotswolds finest while making quirky discoveries too. Visit a vineyard or take a hike through the Stroud valleys in the company of llamas (yes, those South American camelids). Get your pick of perfect pubs, recommended restaurants and appealing places to shop.

Browse the Cotswolds blend of towns and villages to help decide on your base. You might set your sights on Cheltenham, an elegant regency spa town with a full calendar of cultural festivals and an obsession with horseracing. You could choose to disconnect completely and settle into a sleepy hamlet. Seeking somewhere special to stay? Check into a country mansion, bijou B&B or even your own yurt. Youll find suggestions for romantic breaks and family-friendly trips.

Where will your Cotswold escape take you?
