[GWL]: Cotswolds Zone

>> what USDA Hardiness Zone might sum up that region 
of England. <<

As Margaret and Graham have suggested, the Zone is somewhere between 7 and
9. The area has relatively mild winters, but some higher parts of the
Cotswolds can get cold late springs that affect plants badly. 

Unfortunately the US zone system is not entirely comparable to the UK
climate as we do not get the hot continental summers of the USA. Many
plants that grow well in USDA zone 8 may not fare well in the UK. They may
not be directly killed by the winter cold, but the lacklustre summers can
result in the late maturing of plants which therefore have insufficient
reserves to survive the winter.

One benefit is that plants which suffer from leaf scorch in hot US summers
may do much better in the UK's softer climate.
