The Cotswolds
The
Cotswolds are a region of beautiful stone
villages scattered among undulating limestone hills about 100 kilometers west of London. Appearing much as they did
hundreds of years ago, the stone villages of the Cotswolds provide a unique view
of 17th- and 18th-century England. Although it is now chiefly a tourist
destination, it was the wood trade and later the cloth weaving industry that
originally made the Cotswolds famous. Most of the stone buildings were
built with a honey-colored limestone quarried in the surrounding hills.
These limestones are still quarried and are available in many forms.  Houses in Chipping
Campden.
 The
famous Arlington Row cottages in Bibury on the River Coln.  Large limestone quoins in a
wall of split-face stone.
A house in Broad Campden. An
ancient barn north of Bibury. A house in Chipping
Campden. A beautiful house in
Snowshill. |
