The Cotswolds is the  second largest area of protected landscape in England. Honey colored houses, verdant rolling hills, narrow roads and endless rows of yellow goodness; thanks to the rapeseed plant and a magnificent estate which made real the stuff written about english countryside and nobility in my favorite regency romance novels- that pretty much sum up  why  I love England. While it’s only a brief glimpse and experience of the countryside; it’s enough to make me want to come back for more.
