Cotswolds is an area with grassland rolling hills, and golden colored stone villages and small towns, it's an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty(AONB), 象國家公園一樣. 坐火車到倫敦不用兩小時, 非常適合day trip.
The area was very prosperous from 14th to 17th centuries at the height of thriving wool trade, many buildings and cottages were built then. 羊毛交易直線下落之後幾百年,那裏很少有新的發展. 現在以旅遊業農業為主,以至當地人口老化,退休老人多. 但是古色古香的村鎮象童話世界一般,吸引很多倫敦人在這裏有渡假房. 疫情期間,在家工作的年輕人也有搬到這裏,不知會不會長久。
Chipping Campden is a market town. Chipping means market.

4, 住宅區的thatched cottage. 稻節房頂冬暖夏涼,蜜色的外牆任何季節都感覺溫暖。
5, Stone slate 房頂都是當地產品,窗框,圍牆更不用說了
英國人的garden 和美囯人的車,各種各樣五彩繽紛. 如果五月去,大概房前屋後會花姿招展了。
Snowshill 是一個隻有一百多人的樹莊,有個小教堂,沒什麽商店,排屋多
