The Cotswolds are there.
It's basically a "Greatest Hits" album. That's how I've looked at every Horizon map so far. Really, if any dev did set out to meticulously model every square miles of any area of the world a similar size to Horizon maps, we'd end up with a bunch of boring roads and/or empty space.
As much as I'd like to be able to drive around Toronto in a traffic-free digital setting, it'd probably get boring fast!

Isn't the white horse near the Channel Tunnel entrance? Seems they really have made Britain smaller.It'll be a mish mash of the best scenery from Scotland and England. The Vale of the White Horse was also seen in the E3 presentation.
Also I wonder how much roadworks there will be.

Correct. Previous Horizon titles use real city names and names of topographical features for in game destinations, but only in homage and not to suggest any sort of locale recreation. Horizon landmarks are merely inspired-by the real world locations they reference. And by no means is that a bad thing, in my opinion.

It still looks amazing judging from the screens. We haven't even tried it yet, so don't get disappointed beforehand. I hope there is something reminiscent of London though (kind of the Surfer's Paradise city of FH4), since it would remind me of an amazing PS2 game; The Getaway.

Nah that's White Horse Hill in Oxfordshire.
It's a shame that the roads around it don't appear to be similar to the real one as there are some fantastic driving roads there.
Lots of elevation changes, blind corners, that sort of thing.

Hope there's loads of retail parks for people to meet in.

So if lets say some past NFS had used London,Driveclub would become NFS if used London as well?
Jesus,even my ex had better logic
And then Forza 7 using,lets say Monza,and Monza is in PC2 as well - does Forza become PC2?
Ah,just now spotted your avatar - pretty much explains all
Forza Horizon is so far ahead of Driveclub,its not even comparable,and im not even talking about FH4

Honestly, the game reminds me of Driveclub, its not stupid at all what I'm saying but what you said about 'Monza' is off the topic.
I'm talking about a whole environment map, not a circuit
I'm not against that game, I'm still planning on purchasing it...
