The Best of Britain – Cotswolds
by Katie Jarvis
by Katie Jarvis
The honeyed villages of the Cotswolds are a magnet for rock stars and supermodels, so it's no surprise that the foreword to this guidebook is by erstwhile rock star Alex James, now a Cotswold cheese maker. Indeed, the guide is unnecessarily littered with the many such "celebrity connections". Celebrity endorsement aside, however, it is actually a very well-designed guide to the voluptuous hills and the chocolate-box villages sprinkled across the area.
There is detailed information on the tourist attractions, open houses and best picnic spots, and useful sections on where to eat, sleep or entertain children. It is well written and researched, with colourful anecdotes peppering the text, and is divided into sections organised around the major towns in the region. The excellent index and general design of the book make it very easy to use. More
