The Cirencester area is a very sought after location, with the market town of Cirencester, often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds, being a gateway to the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

All sports and interests are catered for whilst the town also benefits from stand out features such as Cirencester Park (part of the Bathurst Estate), Cirencester Polo Club and the church of St John Baptist plus much more. Close by are the towns of Tetbury, Stroud and Cheltenham whilst further afield Bath, Bristol and Oxford can all be easily reached. Westonbirt Arboretum, Beaufort Polo Club, Badminton Horse Trials, the Cotswold Water Park and Cheltenham Racecourse are just a few of the attractions found close by.
