The Cotswolds

47 mins

What actually ARE the 'Cotswolds'? Despite touring the area as a budding young Stratford actress in 1963, Penelope has never been sure about quite what defines this famous region. Starting in the celebrated 'chocolate box' village of Bibury, she sets off to reveal an unspoilt world of wealth - ancient and modern - created originally by sheep, wool and weaving. Penelope's friend Jilly Cooper - a Cotswold villager since 1982 - is on hand to explain the celebrity obsession with this region, and reveal some of the latest names to be seen here.
