The Cotswolds cover a huge area of almost 800 square miles. One of the delights of visiting these is that every village has its own identity, yet each has the same defining features, such as buildings of golden stone and rolling hills. One of the most famous and picturesque villages in the Cotswolds is Castle Combe. The village has a rich history and the houses are made up of the honey-coloured Cotswold stone. After Castle Combe, you can visit the most photographed street in England, the Arlington Row in Bibury, which was originally built in the 14th century as a wool store. Finally, treat yourself to a cup of tea in The Bridge Tea Rooms, an atmospheric venue in Bradford-on-Avon. The building dates back to 1502, with its second level added in 1675. It has been used as a blacksmith, a tailor and an antique shop, until it became a tea room in 1989. I love photography because, with the help of an image taken in a split second, you can tell a whole story. I hope that these photos bring the Cotswolds to life and inspire you to visit.
