The Cotswolds has been praised as an ideal destination by one New Zealand tourist.
Writing for the New Zealand Herald, Robyn Langwell said that it has long been an ambition of hers to tour the area by bike, having first travelled to the Cotswolds 20 years earlier but only exploring a small part of Stow on the Wold.
On her return she opted to take part in a cycle tour organised by Cotswold Country Cycles, something that those booking holiday cottages in the Cotswolds may wish to consider.
This, Ms Langwell said, allowed her to take in a large portion of the area, including Chipping Campden, which features "honeyed limestone cottages" and is surrounded by rapeseed fields.
Observing that you "could spend a month in this lush landscape and still not see everything", she also praised the quality of the local foods, adding that "lavish cream teas" are widely available.
The Cotswolds has also been recommended by England rugby player Andy Hazell, who told the Guardian recently that the Cleeve Hill walk is one of the best in the area.
