What area does the Cotswolds cover

A big thank you for posting that map, and the link to the interactive one. I have not seen the interactive map previously. I would certainly like to hear what everybody would like to do for the "Guess the cache game", a definitive range or fuzzy?

But this is also a great help for the "The Cotswold Geocache of the Year 2012" thread. That particular thread and award I really would like to keep to the definitive range. I was actually a bit hazy in my mind as to whether some of the extreme caches I have done this year towards Bath were actually in the Cotswolds or not, but by this map I can see that a few of them are, and so I can safely nominate one or two to be voted on.

And also thanks for posting the link to the interactive map, walktall, a good resource ;D

Just typed in "Cotswold Map" into Google and copied the img adress ;D

The precise source is "Pictures of England - Cotswolds"

The map that walktall linked-to seems to be in precise agreement with the MAGIC one, so is likely to be correct.

Don't like MAGIC maps... Innacurate!

A reviewer refused to publish one of my caches because the Magic Map showed it on an ancient burial ground, but the OS map didn't, and nor did the reference to the burial ground. They still refused, and said they had to follow Magic Map.

Can't see why they just can't use OS maps now that OS Getamap service is up, the maps are more accurate, have more detail and are more widely recognized! (and accepted!)

Exactly

I have code that will tell you how far inside or outside of the boundary any given point is. I suggest if something's more than a kilometre outside, we say "not in the Cotswolds". If it's outside by less than a kilometre, and is being put forward for CGotY, we discuss it.
