Spring in the Cotswolds

Spring in the Cotswolds is a truly special time of year, it’s a sign that spring has arrived and nature is waking up across the rolling hills and lush green pastures.

It is a magical time, not just for the landscape, but for all kinds of baby animals making their first appearances across the countryside. If you’re an animal lover (or have little ones who are), it’s the perfect season for a visit. During the spring you can meet adorable baby animals like lambs, goat kids, piglets, fluffy chicks, ducklings, and baby bunnies.

With the Easter holidays upon, we wanted to share a roundup of the places to see spring baby animals in the Cotswolds.
