Cotswold Blog - Philip Dark
'I fell in love with the Cotswolds 15 years ago while working there. I like nothing more than making the short journey to experience its delights and learn about and share its history. I love to visit the less publicised and quieter places, and seek the real hidden gems. My blogs will take you on beautiful country walks, along waterways, and to picturesque Cotswold villages, and their ancient churches.'

The Cotswolds - its appeal and mental health benefits
My wellbeing and gifting journey over the last year inspired by the irresistable draw of the Cotswolds. Walking hundreds of miles, seeing thousands of sights. Touring with Mum to release her from lockdown, and give her lots of new memories. And importantly sharing to aid mental wellbeing, and using our experiences to support the fight against, and care for, life changing cancer and brain desease.
