The Cotswolds — La Fédération sur le territoire

The Cotswolds are honey-stone villages threaded along Roman roads — Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, Bourton-on-the-Water — set in 800 square miles of designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The modern Cotswold experience centres on Soho Farmhouse, Daylesford Farm, the Wild Rabbit (Lady Bamford), and Estelle Manor — places where London's creative aristocracy stay for the weekend. The Federation drivers the two-hour drive in a Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover Autobiography, with wine country day-loops to Hambleden Estate or Beckford's Tower.
