Cotswold sheep, often referred to as the 'Cotswold Lion' were introduced into the UK by the Romans. Their wool was referred to as the 'Golden Fleece' owing to its rich lustre, and was an important export, particularly in the Middle Ages. It not only played a major role in the development of many Cotswold towns and villages, but also in the finances of the nation. Sadly times have changed, and they are now classified as a rare breed.
