The Cotswold Hills are a range running through
Gloucestershire into
Oxfordshire and
Warwickshire. They cover about 50 miles from
Bath in a northeasterly direction. The average height of the peaks is around 500 feet, with some reaching more than a thousand feet. The width of the range varies from 6 to 28 miles. The hills separate the lower
River Severn from the
Thames. The rivers have been connected by a canal through Stroud Vale.
Interesting towns in the hills are Cheltenham, Stroud, Gloucester, Chipping Camden, Chipping Norton, Chippingham, Evesham, and Broadway.
