Cotswolds, Chalk and Limestone Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Cotswolds landscape forms part of the oolitic limestone outcrop stretching from Dorset to Lincolnshire. It is marked by a steep scarp to the west, open plateaux and gentler rolling hills. The Character Area extends from Mells in Somerset to Brackley in Northamptonshire and is nationally renowned for its distinctive landscape. Of the area, 65% lies within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Only 4% is classed as urban.
