Luxury self-catering accommodation in Cirencester
Half timber inns, busy farmer's markets and plenty of the Cotswold's trademark honey-hued stone; Cirencester is a popular destination for any visitor to this AONB.
A thriving high street of independent boutiques, tearooms en masse and green spaces galore; while Cirencester is usually overshadowed by nearby Cheltenham, it certainly comes up trumps when it comes to Cotswold character and off-the-beaten-track travel. Whether it's a visit to the Corinium Museum, Brewery Arts Centre, Cirencester Park or the Roman Amphitheatre, Cirencester has plenty to offer for day trippers during a luxury self-catering escape to the Cotswold AONB.
Settled on the Cotswolds south-eastern border, this large market town is easily accessible from most of its quaint, chocolate box villages; perfect for popping into for lunch, or browsing the delis for a sunset picnic, after a day walking one of the many waymarked trails which crisscross the area's rolling hills and ancient woodlands. Nearby, Burford, Moreton-in-Marsh and Sudeley Castle all draw visitors in their droves to experience their fascinating history and local charm.
