The Cotswold Water Park is an area of over 40 square miles and 180 lakes, with many different leisure providers, and a variety of places to stay. This stunning wetlands landscape hosts tens of thousands of breeding and watering birds and is an ideal destination for watching wildlife all year round.
With thirteen settlements of varying sizes across the Cotswold Water Park, it is no surprise that there are plenty of interesting places to visit and explore, for example, the town of Fairford boasts the only complete set of medieval stained glass in a parish church anywhere in the country; Cricklade where the great Roman road, Ermin Street crosses the River Thames; Down Ampney, the birthplace of Ralph Vaughan Williams; Ashton Keynes, with more bridges over the infant river Thames than London.
Stow-on the-Wold is the highest of the Cotswold towns standing exposed on 800 feet high Stow Hill at a junction of seven major roads, including the Roman Fosse Way.

The park has outdoor heated pool (seasonal) and the indoor leisure pool is complete with flume, sauna and steam room. There’s a mini gym, nature trail, tennis, adventure golf, multi sports court, an amusement arcade and more to keep the whole family entertained.
Lake Pochard
An idyllic peaceful retreat to relax and unwind within The Cotswold Water Park, a beautiful area made up of over 150 lakes located on the borders of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
The site has superb fishing and a fantastic restaurant - Waterside Kitchen and Bar (reservations must be made).
Most of the lodges are dog friendly, but these must be kept on a lead at all times due to the local wildlife.
Windrush Lake
The New England style lakeside holiday Homes on Windrush are positioned around three natural, reed edged lakes, located within the Cotswold Water Park.
Isis and Windrush Lake offers a wide range of activities. Choose from tennis courts, a children’s adventure playground, football, croquet, la boules, table tennis and a games room. Isis Lake also offers both carp and trout fishing, and boating is permitted on Windrush Lake.
Stow on the Wold
"Why Not" is a charming 3 floor cottage situated in the beautiful Cotswold village Stow on the Wold.
The cottage is situated down a very quiet, peaceful and private lane but minutes from the town centre.
Kingham and Moreton in Marsh are the closest train stations and I can recommend taxis on request. Lovely restaurants and pubs are within short walking distance.
Parking is on Well Lane next to the cottage and is generally easy - and free.
