The Cotswolds

Honey-coloured villages that look staged for a postcard until you remember people actually live there, a pub with a fire lit whatever the season, and footpaths between them that ask for nothing more than a decent pair of boots.
The best time to visit The Cotswolds is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (69°F).
