The Cotswolds are a range of limestone uplands. If you are a skilled and persistent observer you can see far more than these.
Many habitats are quite fragile.
Walking or cycling off the paths can damage plants, and disturb, damage or destroy the habitats of animals. Some of these pictures were taken at other places, but all of the snakes and some of the lizards, orchids, butterflies and flowers were photographed in the Cotswolds.
