Unravelling the Secret Meaning of "Cotswolds" | The Cotswolds Traveller
The Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the south of England. It has historic roots dating back to the Neolithic period, and through the Middle Ages was a commercial powerhouse, producing the finest quality wool for export to Europe and the world.
But how did the Cotswolds get its name?
There are many theories and like many things, perhaps the true origin will never truly be known.

How do you think the Cotswolds got their name? Do you agree with any of these theories, or perhaps have a theory of your own?
The jewel of England and beauty spot for the entire UK. Love and warmest wishes from Canada. I like the Goddess theory. This is her uplands and woods!
Thank you very much!!
I’m voting for the wooded home of the ancient goddess! Makes the most long-term sense.
I love the goddess idea, but the sheep pens are the more logical/practical backstop to the naming.
The sheep theory for me
Logically , home of the sheep
