Cotswold Towns and Villages

Cotswold Town and Villages Guide for Families

The famous historic stone villages of the Cotswolds are utterly charming and unlike any other place in the world – sleepy, pretty, quintessentially English and a must visit on any trip to the UK – but are they family friendly and worth visiting with your kids?

We are a local family that have lived in the Cotswolds since our children were babies and we love to get out and explore our local area with our children, and we are here to share all our knowledge on the best way to explore the Cotswolds with kids – with you.

We may not have been to every corner of the Cotswolds yet – but we will do our best to bring you the best information for families in the Cotswolds, even if it takes a lifetime to explore this beautiful region of England.

The cities of the Cotswolds such as Oxford and Bath are world class destinations, offering stunning architecture, culture and loads of family friendly, fun things to do. Our vibrant market towns are great to explore, and the perfect place to base yourself to enjoy the beautiful English countryside. The typical Cotswold village maybe sleepy and quiet, but what better place to walk with your children in the countryside, have a picnic and experience the simple good life – plus some of the bigger villages have some lovely activities to try with the kids.

We have created a comprehensive guide of the prettiest villages, the best villages for kids, and unmissable attractions in our towns and cities – tried and tested by our family so yours can get the low down and start planning that perfect family trip.
