∙ OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY ∙ Gloucestershire’s natural beauty is defined by its two distinct and captivating landscapes: The rolling hills of the Cotswolds and the ancient woodlands of the Forest of Dean. In the east, the Cotswolds present a picture-perfect scene of gentle green hills, sweeping valleys, and iconic honey-coloured stone villages. To the west, the Forest of Dean provides a dramatic contrast with its wonderful woodlands.

The famous Cotswold Lion sheep, in particular, was the source of the wealth that built many of the iconic ‘wool churches’ and honey-coloured villages found throughout the region. The sheep symbolises the gentle, rolling beauty of the countryside and a history of prosperity and craftsmanship.
