The Old English term 'wold' means forest or woodland. In particular, the term 'wold' was used for a forest that is situated on a hill or mountain. Some areas in England are still called Wolds (Cotswolds, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire Wolds).

Why are the Cotswolds called the cotswolds?

The Cotswolds are named after the Old English term "cots wold," which translates to "sheep enclosure" (cots) and "hills" or "uplands" (wold). This reflects the region's historical significance in sheep farming, particularly during the wool trade boom in medieval England. The area's rolling hills, picturesque villages, and limestone architecture further contributed to its identity and name.
