The Cotswolds are defined as the range of limestone hills that run for around 100 miles (150Km) from near Stratford-upon-Avon to near Bath. A steep escarpment known as the Cotswold Edge delineate the region to the north and west from the Severn Valley and the Warwickshire Avon. To the east the city of Oxford marks the boundary and to the south the Thames Valley with towns such as Cirencester, Lechlade, Tetbury and Fairford. The Cotswolds was (rightfully!) designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966.
