Cirencester

The bustling market town of Cirencester is the perfect base from which to explore the Cotswolds. The second largest city in Roman Britain and famed for its wool market in Tudor times, Cirencester is still thriving today. There are a wealth of independant shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. There is a market on Mondays and Fridays and a farmers market on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from 9am until 1pm. There is also an antiques market every Friday in the Corn Hall. Town attractions include:

The Corinium Museum   Cirencester Park   The Abbey Grounds   The Brewery Arts Centre   The newly restored parish church   The outdoor lido from May onwards  Cirencester Park Polo
