The Cotswolds in a region in central-southwest England that lies along a range of rolling hills that rise from the meadows of upper Thames above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. It creates a grassland habitat that is rae in the United Kingdom and it is quarried for the golden colored Cotswold stone. In the 21st century, it has attracted many wealthy Londoners and others who own second homes there or have chosen to retire to the Cotswolds. In 1919, Ivor Gurney published the poem "To His Love" and he mentions Cotswold when he says, "We'll walk no more on Cotswold / Where the sheep feed / Quietly and take no heed" (Lines 3-5).
