For that picture-book English village look, a trip to the Cotswolds is a must. Its an area of thatched stone cottages, villages clustered around greens and duck ponds, valleys and wooded hills. The Cotswolds are also famed for antiques with Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden, Chipping Norton and Broadway all considered to be marvellous hunting grounds for antiques and hidden treasures.
