Everything about Cotswold Stone totally explained
Cotswold stone is a yellow
oolitic limestone quarried in many places the
Cotswold Hills in the south midlands of
England. When weathered the colour of buildings made or faced with this stone is often described as 'honey' or 'golden'.
The stonework of the Northern Cotswold villages such as
Stanton and
Broadway, is significantly darker than that found in the Southern Cotswolds (eg
Dursley) (see
(External Link
)).
The rock outcrops at places on the '
Cotswold Edge' and small quarries are common. The exposures are rarely sufficiently compact to be good for
rock-climbing. However, an exception is Castle Rock, on
Cleeve Hill, above
Bishop's Cleeve, near
Cheltenham.
