And if you're looking to go walking in the UK, the region - which is located in the west of England - can be a great place to head to. With its numerous trails and paths, be sure to pack your hiking boots when visiting the Cotswolds. Why not take a stroll along the Thames Path - the source of the iconic River Thames is in the Cotswolds - or follow the Cotswold Way which goes from Bath to Chipping Campden.

Of course you can also take to such trails by bicycle, while the region is also well-known for horse-racing - it is home to the famous Cheltenham Racecourse, which could be a great place to visit on a stag weekend.
