Local Area Information

The Cottage is a 7 minute walk to the centre of Cirencester (0.3 miles) and a 5 minute walk to the Barton Lane entrance to Cirencester Park (0.2 miles).

Cirencester is known as the Capital of the Cotsolds and features many beautiful winding streets, brimming with character and history. Black Jack street is a particular gem, with it’s artisan bakery, locally renowned butcher, and cafes (Keith’s coffee shop and Jack’s cafe can’t be missed!). If you fancy a dip, the spring fed open air pool is a 5 minute walk from The Cottage and is open from May to September. Alternatively, take a stroll through the 15,000 acres of Cirencester Park! The town also has a rich Roman history (it was the second largest town during this time) which you can learn about in the Corinium Museum.

From the town, you are also in the perfect position to explore the North or South Cotswolds, including Bibury, Bourton on the Water, the Slaughters, Tetbury and Painswick.
