Heart of England

The industrial heart of England now offers one of Britain's loveliest National Parks, the Peak District, a region of outstanding natural beauty with spectacular and contrasting scenery. Moorland, ancient oak woodlands, bustling market towns and pretty villages are easily accessible from some of our major cities. Some of the Trust's finest properties are in the area, including High Peak Estate, straddling the Yorkshire-Derbyshire border, Lyme Park mansion and gardens, surrounded by a medieval deer park and Hardwick Hall, hardly changed since its creation in Elizabethan times. To the south is the gentler area of the Cotswolds and its neighbouring county of Warwickshire. With its gently rolling countryside of hills and valleys, picturesque stone villages and fine houses, this beautiful area now offers the visitor a glimpse of traditional English life. The National Trust owns some of the loveliest countryside in the area, some fine houses and important gardens. There is a huge and varied choice from Tudor Snowshill Manor, with its eclectic collection of musical instruments, clocks and Japanese armour to Hidcote Manor Gardens, famous for its rare trees, shrubs and outstanding herbaceous borders. Other Trust places in the area include Newark Park with its stunning views, the Sherborne Park estate, while the Buscot and Coleshill estates in west Oxfordshire are set in 7,500 acres of rolling farmland and woodland. The Iron Age hill-fort of Badbury Hill offers superb views over the Upper Valley south to White Horse Hill and the Berkshire Downs.

If not the heart of England, the Cotswolds and the neighbouring county of Warwickshire, are surely its soul - an uplifting vision of breathtaking scenery, with gently rolling countryside of hills and valleys, picturesque stone villages and fine houses. This beautiful area offers the visitor a glimpse of traditional English life, and is attractive throughout the year. There is no better way to enjoy the splendours of the Cotswolds than to stay in one of the Trust?s many holiday homes .

    Thank you National Trust

    Our second visit to this lovely cottage. We love the Cotswolds. The week has flown past. A visit to the Plough at Kelmscot is a must. Good sea food. Our batteries have been re-charged. Thank you National Trust. We shall be back

    Great views of the surrounding countryside

    We arrived on Friday evening after work - it was very cold with a clear night sky which gave us spectacular views of the stars (compared with our usual London light - polluted sky!). On Saturday it was cold but very sunny - we wrapped up warm and did a 4 hour walk through the estate grounds to Badbury Hill, which gives great views of the surrounding countryside - including Faringdon Folly and the Uffington White Horse (in the distance) - and then on to Great Coxwell Barn which is worth a visit. We had a nice fire in the evening!

    A very cosy warm cottage

    This was our third cottages break and we agreed our favourite so far. Approached down a farm lane is was very cosy and secluded. We woke to the lovely smell of Jasmine outside the bedroom window. We had wonderful weather for late September 2005 and covered miles of ground around the local countryside including a shopping trip to Oxford. A very cosy warm cottage again with all the comforts of home. I certainly didn't want to go home and we booked another break within a couple of weeks.
