Avon Cottages

Avon Cottages are a good idea. This region of England has many cottages and many a cottage you can get online.

The County of Avon was a non-metropolitan county and ceremonial county in the west of England, named after the River Avon, which ran through it. In 1996, the county was abolished and the area split between the Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire unitary local authorities. The Avon area is still used for some purposes (see "Legacy" section), and today has a population of approximately one million people. The county did however have a fairly strong rational basis, being largely conterminous with the Bristol "Travel to Work Area" defined since the 1950s and '60s for planning purposes. In addition, people in the new county, but beyond the Bristol City boundary, were brought within convenient travelling distance of their main county council offices for the first time. Greater Bristol is a term used for the conurbation which contains and surrounds the city of Bristol in the South West of England. There is no official "Greater Bristol" authority, but the term is sometimes used by local, regional and national authorities, and others as a synonym for either the "Bristol Urban Area" or the wider area of the former County of Avon. Many people who do not live under the control of Bristol City Council still name Bristol as their address. Some of the cottages have baths and some showers, some have pools, some have sattelites, you can hire rent or rental a cottage. rents are there some are on the internet,

Some may use friends cottages, and some may use ones given as gifts.
