A Guide to the Cotswolds,

This review is from: A Guide to the Cotswolds (Paperback)
Help somewhat, but cannot say it is a must have.The nice thing about this book that I did not find in others is the more detailed description of the background and history of some of the towns and attractions. Wish it has more detailed map though. I would advise anybody thinking about driving in Cotwolds, or England in that matter get a GPS. It helps a lot. I bought and downloaded the England map to load it on my US version GPS, which really has made the trip much less stressful. If you miss some of the roundabout exits, it may take you a long time to get back.

Found this book very informative, with lots of useful facts. Easy to use, easy to understand. Used it in the car to get from place to place. Worth buying.

Didn't Use This,

This review is from: A Guide to the Cotswolds (Paperback)
I bought this based on amazon reviews. I wanted a reference for my trip to the Cotswolds, but I won't be taking this with me. It's not "bad", just not what I was looking for. I wanted something to help my plan my itinerary and help me to know what I am looking at. This book divides the Cotswolds into sections, but only explores a few of the main towns. It is heavy on history. The things that are highlighted are given a sentence or two. This is probably a good companion book to a generic travel guide and something else on the Cotswolds, but is not a stand alone resource for someone with interests like mine and really NO background on the Cotswolds.
