UK Travel & Lifestyle Blog
Welcome to Cotswoldist
Exploring storybook Britain with a local who calls it home.
Whether you’re visiting the UK from overseas or you already live here and fancy exploring somewhere new, Cotswoldist is your go-to guide for UK travel inspiration. While the Cotswolds is my specialty (I’m a Gloucestershire local, after all), this blog isn’t limited to one corner of the map. You’ll also find tips and itineraries for adventures across the rest of the UK. So grab a cup of tea — or a glass of wine — and let’s start planning your next storybook escape.

About Abbie
Hello, I'm Abbie! I am a traveller, photographer, techy and lover of history, architecture and breath-taking views. I am also the author of this blog: Cotswoldist
Since I spend so much time travelling around the UK — and when I’m not, you’ll usually find me wandering the hidden corners of the Cotswolds — I thought, why not share what I know with the world? Tourists often stop me for directions, tips, and local know-how, and it struck me that there’s a real need for someone who lives it to write it all down. That’s exactly where this blog comes in.
