The Cotswolds towns and villages guide...
I've been reading the forum postings while planning my return trip to London in early April and noticed the many questions regarding the Cotswolds. I came across this guide while planning my trip. The guide has a list of the towns/villages with a brief description of each. There's also a detailed map showing rail lines if you're trying to explore the area without a car. It looks like a useful guide for those who need help deciding how or what to do/see.

BTW...thanks to the regular posters here. I've found some recommendations for things to do that I haven't done before.

Here's another guide to the Cotswolds I came across...I'd love to visit Hidcote Manor gardens!

I just returned from my trip and thought I'd post some addition info I found while planning a bike tour through the Cotswolds.

End of May..? The weekend of 25-27 May is a Bank Holiday in England. Especially if the weather is good, much of the Cotswolds will be packed with day trippers from the English cities. If you have a choice, avoid that weekend.

Saturdays (and Sundays, and Bank holiday Mondays) are always a great deal busier in Cotswold towns than Fridays.
If avoiding crowds matters (on footpaths there aren't any, ever, and even during the busiest spring/summer weekends the only real problem they cause is difficulty going on impossibility parking and slow service in pubs and restaurants) definitely Friday.
There are no significant crowd-attracting events during the week.
