A hilly region in the west of England, mainly in Gloucestershire. It is also called the Cotswolds, meaning "Cod's Forest". It stretches about 90 km from the middle of the Bristol-Avon River to the northeast and up the Cherwell River, with an average elevation of about 200 m, and its highest point, Cleeve Cloud, is only 330 m. It is mainly composed of limestone, as it is part of the Jurassic cue escarpment that stretches from Dorsetshire to Yorkshire, and forms the watershed between the Thames and Severn river systems.
