If you’re planning a trip to England, then visiting the Cotswolds should already be on your list of places to see. The Cotswolds is a picturesque region located in south central England and is known for its rolling hills, charming villages and historical sites. 

Whether you’re looking to explore the history and culture of the area or simply want to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the countryside, here are the top five must-visit destinations in the Cotswolds:

Bourton-on-the-Water

This charming village is often referred to as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”. Why, you may ask? Well, because it has a number of bridges that cross the River Windrush. It’s a popular tourist destination that has plenty of tea rooms, shops and historical buildings to explore.

Castle Combe

This small village is often considered one of the most picturesque in England, with its thatched roofs, stone cottages and 14th-century church. The surrounding countryside is just as beautiful making it a great destination for walks and picnics.

Stow-on-the-Wold

This historic market town is located on top of a hill and is surrounded by rolling countryside. It’s home to many antique shops and has a rich history, including connections to the English Civil War. What better way to learn about the country than with the backdrop of Stow-on-the-Wold?

The Slaughters

You may have already guessed that this name actually refers to two small villages called the Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter. Both of the villages are surrounded by meadows and woodland adding to their picturesque beauty and peaceful atmosphere. If it’s walking and cycling that you’re after then this is the place for you!

Chipping Campden

This historic market town has a beautiful high street lined with stone buildings. It’s also home to several important historical buildings such as the St James’ Church and  the Market Hall. The surrounding countryside is spectacular, with many walks and trails for you and your family to explore.

I left a well-known storage unit for Wigwam, mainly because of cost, wigwam are more reasonable, the unit is clean and is entry availablity is upto 10pm. You work off an app that allows entry not only to the building also to your rented unit. It is safe, No fear of loosing keys. The staff very helpful. Highly recommended.

Lenny was great at helping me get my storage over the phone, and was engaging and fun. I also received some help from a nice guy at the location; I think his name is Adam, a very lovely fellow. Friendly staff they've got. First time using a storage unit, and it was seamless to set up and easy to use the app without any confusion. The price was also really affordable, beyond what I assumed it would be, and I still got a 50% discount for the first 8 weeks. I highly recommend Wigwam.

Excellent Service & product !
Very easy access with parking right outside the door.
Plenty of trolleys, so no need for muscles ! It maybe a little more expensive than some others, BUT the cleanliness & ease of use perfect.
The staff are VERY patient, explaining how each unit works.
It is great to know the manned office hours & how to make contact if not.
Plenty of accessible hours too.
Ps.... they do like a biscuit or 2 in the office I hear !
