Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Cotswolds, England
The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

Great views after a long climb from Painswick but well worth it. The views are magnificent on a clear day you can see across Gloucester and see Wales which is over 100km.

Despite our best intentions we were so taken by the quality of the works on display that we bought one! The owner was very helpful and we enjoyed talking to him.
7. Gallery Pangolin
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
Gallery Pangolin is a 'must-see' on any tour of the Cotswolds. Tucked away in the village of Chalford on the slopes of the escarpment is one of Gloucestershire's best-kept secrets. On what was once a Victorian industrial site at the heart of the Golden Valley, Gallery Pangolin is one of the few galleries to specialise in sculpture and related drawings and is open to visitors 6 days a week. We are located on Chalford Industrial Estate on the A419 in between Stroud and Cirencester.

Lots to see .An interesting Victorian rebuild of an old church. The working clock without a face is stunning as is a wonderful carved wooden panel. It remains above all a serene place of worship.

Our walk along the High Street was a real tonic, with it's wide roadway, fabulous architecture and a range of "real" shops. Parking was a nightmare but it was worth the experience.
