Cotswolds Attractions

With so many Cotswold attractions, we feel a little spoilt for choice...

Many attractions and things to do in the Cotswolds are suitable for both adults and children - take a look at our attractions finder on the right and see what takes your fancy!

Visitors to Birdland Park & Gardens in Bourton on the Water will be amazed by the parrots, falcons, pheasants, hornbills, toucans & touracos, along with the Discovery Zone & Nature Walk. Take time out to wander, relax and learn in this tranquil environment. There are large areas to picnic and watch the activities of the birds on and around the river Windrush as it meanders through the Park on its journey to the Thames.

The Cotswold Wildlife Park is home to a fascinating and varied collection - over 250 species of mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates from all over the world. Take a wander around the 160 acre park, become a keeper for the day, feed the penguins or see the animals keeping cool with specially made ice lollies (every Wednesday in August).

Slimbridge Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust is home to an astounding array of wildlife including the world's largest collection of swans, geese, and ducks.
A year round programme of walks, arts, events, workshops, talks and spectacular wildlife encounters are a fantastic way for everyone to connect to their natural surroundings. Slimbridge is the Gold winner of the Cotswold Tourism Awards Attraction of the Year 2010 - congratulations!

Broadway Tower is one of England's outstanding viewpoints and at 1024 feet (312m) above sea level, it is the second highest point on the Cotswold escarpment. Unrivalled views survey an expanse of a 62 mile radius and as many as 16 counties.  Conveniently located on the Cotswold Way, Broadway Tower is the perfect place to start your walk, be it a short circuit or hike. There is ample car parking for patrons of Broadway Tower and refreshments await to reward the completed walk.
