ABOUT USThe Cotswolds National Landscape is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, looked after by a small team working in partnership with a number of other organisations.
The team at the Cotswolds National Landscape is an independent statutory body that works to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswolds; to increase understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities; and to foster the social and economic well-being of local communities.

OUR WORK
The Cotswolds AONB was designated for its special qualities and it’s our role to make sure that these qualities – landscape, geology, wildlife, biodiversity and cultural heritage – are well cared for and will be here for everyone to continue to enjoy for many years to come.
WALKING & EXPLORING
Lace up & get stuck into walking the Cotswolds.
The Cotswolds is one of the country’s most beautiful landscapes with nearly 800 square miles of superb scenery, picturesque towns and villages, as well as endless opportunities to get out and explore the area on foot, by bike or on horseback.
CARING FOR THE COTSWOLDS
The Cotswolds is a special place to live, work and visit.
The Caring for the Cotswolds grants scheme is a way for businesses and people to give something back to ensure the environment is taken care of. We do this by using donations to support projects that conserve vital habitats and species and protect our heritage so it can be enjoyed by future generations.
We also want residents and visitors to enjoy the fantastic landscape. We do this by using donations to support projects that improve access, such as footpaths, and education and interpretation so that people can learn about the environment and our rich history.
WORKING FOR US

We want to make sure this is a positive, vibrant organisation committed to delivering our aims and objectives as efficiently and effectively as possible.
