Moving to or from The Cotswolds?

Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the A40 Junction Sends You Round in Circles)

Welcome to the Cotswolds — England’s postcard region, where honey‑stone villages meet rolling hills and the A40 keeps Cheltenham and Oxford firmly connected. With around 140,000 residents who know the shortcut past Bourton‑on‑the‑Water better than any sat‑nav, the Cotswolds blends rural calm with tourist buzz.

Schools That Actually Impress

Pate’s Grammar in Cheltenham, Chipping Campden School, and Rendcomb College (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

The Cotswolds’ economy mixes tourism, agriculture, and crafts with growing service and tech hubs in Cheltenham and Cirencester. Add in commuters heading to Oxford, Bristol, and Birmingham, and you’ve got a region that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the A40 Traffic)

  • Bourton‑on‑the‑Water – the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” perfect for riverside strolls.

  • Broadway Tower – iconic hilltop views across the countryside.

  • Local favourites – Cheltenham Races for sport, Cotswold Wildlife Park for family days, and endless walking trails for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t fix the A40 bottleneck, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

  • Full packing services

  • Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Birdlip Hill)

  • Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes the Cotswolds are just a stepping stone to Copenhagen)
