Welcome to Cirencester

Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cirencester is a town rich with history, often called the "Capital of the Cotswolds." Its origins stretch back to Roman times, when it was known as Corinium Dobunnorum, a major settlement second only to London.

Today, this charming market town offers a perfect blend of ancient heritage and modern Cotswold life. The magnificent Parish Church of St. John Baptist dominates the Market Place, its towering structure a testament to the town's wool trade wealth. Just a short stroll away, you'll discover the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, a powerful reminder of Cirencester's storied past.

The town is a hub for independent shops, quaint cafes, and bustling markets. On a sunny day, you can relax in the beautiful Abbey Grounds or explore the Cirencester Park Estate. With its honey-colored stone buildings and winding streets, Cirencester offers a peaceful and picturesque escape, inviting you to slow down and soak in its timeless beauty.
