local knowledge has gone into this book. The beauty of the
Cotswolds is not new, it is not something that has just come about
recently, it is, you might even say, as old as the hills
themselves. But it is not only beauty to be found in these hills,
they are also rich in history, the Romans came, stayed a while and
then left. They were about the first to leave us monuments of their
advanced way of life that we can understand today, then came the
Saxons, the Danes and the Normans. Each left something by which to
remember them. In more recent times great houses have been built
and are there for all to see. The Cotswolds intriguing, majestic,
even cruel in its own way. There is a bigness that is breathtaking,
especially during the summer, a loneliness that can be frightening
during the winter, but always a grandeur, as powerful as an
exciting tale that not one little bit must be missed. Perhaps early
man found the excitement of these hills a good reason for settling
in them. They offered a natural fortification in many instances for
settlements, often with views over the valley of the Severn, where
animals could be hunted and fish caught in the river. It is hoped
that your visit to the Cotswolds will be most enjoyable, and if,
with the help of these pages, more memorable, then the object of
this publication will have been achieved
