You can expect to find some absolutely beautiful countryside, especially around the Malvern Hills or the rolling grasslands of the Cotswolds. It’s also a part of the country with a colourful past, home to the birthplace of Shakespeare and Sudeley Castle.
The Cotswolds is one of the most quintessentially English regions of the country and one of the least changed areas in Britain retaining quaint market towns, literature festivals and traditional limestone villages. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Cotswolds and the towns of Moreton-on-Marsh, Chipping Norton, Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold are some of the most elegant and pretty places in the country.
The Heart of England includes the cities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton and is one of Britain’s most diverse areas shaped by its industrial past. The Heart of England covers a wide geographic area made up of the counties of Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire.
The Heart of England contrasts nicely with the laidback pace of life in the chocolate box villages of the Cotswolds and the region has undergone rapid transformation in recent years to meet the needs of changing tastes and styles. Birmingham plays host to the largest Christmas market in Britain and the Bullring Shopping Centre is considered to be one of the finest places to shop in the country. Warwickshire is also known as ‘Shakespeare Country’ thanks to Stratford-upon-Avon being the birthplace of William Shakespeare whilst Shropshire and the Black Country area are home to the origins of Britain’s industrial past with famous canals, bridges such as Ironbridge and engineers like Thomas Telford all emanating from the area.
