Exquisite honey-coloured villages, a thriving arts scene, award-winning restaurants and splendid garden attractions make the Cotswolds the perfect retirement destination<\/h3>\n

Covering 800 square miles across five counties, the breadth and beauty of the Cotswolds resonates with both local residents and the many visitors the area attracts each year.<\/p>\n

The area offers so much to see and do including a stunning arts and crafts garden at Hidcote as well as some of the finest restaurants to be found anywhere, including the Michelin-starred Wild Rabbit at Kingham. The\u00a0Prince of Wales loved it so much that he made his home there at\u00a0the Highgrove estate.<\/p>\n

An increasing number of discerning retirees are choosing to make the Cotswolds, which is fringed by so many cultured small cities, their home as they look to embark upon fulfilling retirement years within one of the most sought after locations in the UK.<\/p>\n

TOP COTSWOLD PLACES TO VISIT<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Painswick<\/strong><\/p>\n

Painswick is set high above the Severn Valley with charming winding streets offering sudden and dramatic vistas. Visit the 14th-century church of St Mary and its churchyard with lines of neatly bulbous, clipped yews (legend has it there are 99 trees and the devil won\u2019t allow any more). Crossed by the Cotswold Way, the village is also an excellent hub for walking trails.<\/p>\n

The Five Valleys<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take in Cotswold mill country with a driving tour or a walk around some of the five sublime valleys that converge at the busy town of Stroud. To the north are steep Painswick Valley and Slad Valley, made famous by Cider with Rosie author Laurie Lee. To the east is the glorious Golden Valley of the River Frome and to the south lies the deep-wooded Nailsworth and Cam valleys.<\/p>\n

Westonbirt Arboretum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s national arboretum\u00a0Westonbirt <\/a>lies about three miles south of Tetbury. Whatever the time of year, visitors can\u2019t fail to be impressed by the rural landscape of some 16,000 trees, well-kept trails and 17 miles of paths.<\/p>\n

C<\/strong>otswold Farm Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

Established to preserve rare breeds,\u00a0Cotswold Farm Park<\/a>\u00a0is run by BBC\u00a0Countryfile\u00a0presenter Adam Henson and lies some four miles south of Bourton-on-the-Water.<\/p>\n

Chipping Campden<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exquisite old market town lies on the northern reaches of the Cotswold escarpment. Don\u2019t miss the glorious wool church and lovely 17th-century covered marketplace. A stone just beyond it marks the start (or end) of the Cotswold Way walking trail.<\/p>\n
