WHY WE LOVE THE COTSWOLDS ENGLAND: Things to Do in the Best Cotswolds Villages! 4K

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Thanks for the tip about the Malt & Anchor! We are Americans that live on the edge of the Cotswolds each summer, and I'm always looking for amazing places to eat that we can try out! We still haven't made it to Chedworth Roman villas yet, so I enjoyed seeing your visit there. Beautiful footage of the northern lights! 👍 Cheers! XX Dara

You're very welcome! Seeing the Northern Lights in the Cotswolds just blew us away.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@worthytravels I heard a friend tell me that they knew someone who went to Iceland to see the northern lights and didn't really get to see any. Then they went back home to Utah, probably when you were seeing the northern lights in the Cotswolds, and saw a fantastic display! Lol

[@worthytravels]

@@MagentaOtterTravels we were so surprised to see them there! We use this app called “Aurora” to help us locate the Northern Lights during our travels. And right before they appeared in the Cotswolds, our app kept going crazy. We couldn’t believe it!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@worthytravels great idea! Well done 👍

[@worthytravels]

@@MagentaOtterTravels thank you!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Great video! You must have been in Bibury around 7 AM! I was shocked how you were able to take pictures of Arlington Row with no other people in them!😮😂

[@worthytravels]

Let's just say we woke up at the crack of dawn. Haha! How are you guys liking life in England? Adrian and I miss England so much! Thank you so much for your lovely comments!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@worthytravels we live in the Dallas Texas area for seven months of the year, and then head over to our Flat in Cheltenham all summer. My husband is a dual citizen and has family who live in both countries. I do miss the Cotswolds when we are not there! I have done my share of getting up at the crack of dawn as well. Definitely on the day we filmed Bourton on the Water! Ha ha Where in England did you live?

[@worthytravels]

@@MagentaOtterTravels everywhere in the Cotswolds gets so busy, we had to start early most days. Adrian is a dual citizen as well and we lived in the New Forest and Bournemouth for 10 years before moving back to California. We’re hoping to move back sometime next year. We’re keeping our fingers crossed our plans come to fruition. 🙏

English countryside is sooo beautiful

[@worthytravels]

@@mohdzaki1089 it truly is!! It’s mesmerizing

[@Buzzeebeee100]

I love this video. So well narrated and presented.

[@worthytravels]

Thank you so much!

[@pbeluckley]

Hi I am a local (live near Burford) and love your video. You really have highlighted some of the best places here. I am pleased you had a great time.

[@worthytravels]

@pbeluckley Hi Phil, thank you so much! That means a lot to us, especially coming from a local. I am slightly jealous though that you live in such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you again!

[@pbeluckley]

​@worthytravels no problems, always happy to give good praise. Are you still in the Cotswolds or if not will you be returning one day?? I could give you a few villages that are not tourist hotspots but are fantastic places to visit.

[@worthytravels]

@@pbeluckley yes, please! We would love to get recommendations from you. We’re back in America now but we always go back to England every year. And we will move back too in the very near future. 🙂Thank you so much for your help!

[@richardsoper777]

Thank you for highlighting the Cotswolds. Lots of exciting places to visit

[@worthytravels]

@richardsoper777 You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for watching!

[@jayarajjohnson2476]

A wonderful video and informative narration.

[@worthytravels]

@@jayarajjohnson2476 thank you so much! 🙂 We’re so happy to know that you enjoyed watching our video and found it informative.

[@marlenerose5757]

Love this video! I would love to visit someday ❤

[@worthytravels]

@@marlenerose5757 thanks so much! If you do visit, please feel free to ask us anything. We’re always happy to help.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

We were laughing that you put American dollar bills through the letter slot 😂

[@worthytravels]

@MagentaOtterTravels haha! I ran out of pounds because I kept buying different goodies from all the baskets. And I kept forgetting to film. LOL. Then I came across that one which had a note on the basket saying dollars are accepted...thankfully! 🙂

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@worthytravels i'm sure they were happy to get them! 💵

[@worthytravels]

@ I hope so 😅

[@Roamingthecotswolds]

Lovely Video

[@worthytravels]

@@Roamingthecotswolds thank you so much! We are so jealous that you live in such a beautiful part of the world. 🙂

[@TheCornishCockney]

That’s just one area in the beautiful UK countryside. Cornwall Yorkshire Dales Devon South Downs Peak District The Lake District Snowdonia Isle of Skye Loch Lomond Northumberland All compare favourably to the Cotswolds.

[@worthytravels]

@@TheCornishCockney We absolutely agree. We lived in the New Forest too and that’s another place in the UK that no one should miss.

[@thomasklotzle5065]

We are taking the train from Heathrow to the Cotswolds and would like to rent a car and tour for three days. Where do you recommend for a base

[@worthytravels]

@@thomasklotzle5065 Hi there! Would love you give you recommendations but also could you let me know which areas or counties you wish to visit? Are you interesred in Bibury? Bath? Castle Combe?

[@thomasklotzle5065]

After some thought, we have decided to rent a car at Heathrow and drive to the Cotswolds. First stop is Burford, northernmost Chipping Campden and then south through Bibury, Tetbury, Lacock and then back to Heathrow. We have 3 days and are looking at Airbnb accommodations. We are watching your videos and open to suggestions. Thanks so much!

[@worthytravels]

@@thomasklotzle5065 Malmesbury and around that area would be a great place for you to stay. It’s almost right in the center and close to A roads and the M4 too. Have you looked at airbnbs in that area?

[@James-dx8qb]

@@thomasklotzle5065 You should not miss Castle Combe on the way southwards to Lacock, nor the old Roman town of Cirencester.

[@worthytravels]

@James-dx8qb I completely agree! They’re unlike anywhere else in the world - Denise 🙂

[@KNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Too many tourists 300,000 a year some very rude people as well knocking at your door asking can they take a tour of your house like its somekind of museum and especially tourists taking photos through your windows without asking..SMH

[@worthytravels]

@KNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 Oh my goodness, that's so frustrating. We saw something similar when we were at Castle Combe. It was 7:30 in the morning on a Sunday and a busload of tourists were shouting and making a lot of noise on private driveways, on kerbs, etc.. Some were peering into windows too. I felt so bad for the residents of the village and I could relate since we lived in the New Forest for a very long time.That's why we decided to include a little appeal in our video. I really hope it changes soon. - Denise

[@WhisperingPines7]

Thanks so much . A really great well done video!!

[@worthytravels]

@@WhisperingPines7 you’re very welcome! Thanks so much for your lovely comment. 🙂

[@mrz5705]

Brilliant camerawork... 'Totally hate the place' 🤮

[@worthytravels]

Is it the number of tourists that makes you dislike it? We went extremely early to many of the places and they were still busy. Could definitely see in the height of summer it being awful with that number in people in smaller villages.

[@mrz5705]

@@worthytravels Actually my ex lives there and after 25 I still haven't got over it so I avoid the place like the plague. Didn't expect that did you...?

[@worthytravels]

@mrz5705 you are right I definitely did not expect that! Can 100% understand why you stay away from it!
