Rooted some 80 miles west of London, Cirencester is a market town in the enchanting Gloucestershire. It's the largest town in the Cotswolds and sits by the calm River Churn, a tributary of the Thames. Cirencester boasts of its prestigious Royal Agricultural University, founded in 1840, the first of its kind in the English-speaking world.

Cirencester, known as Corinium in Roman times, was a notable centre for the wool trade. From flourishing as a market town in the 18th century, witnessing the English Civil War, to becoming a hub of the Arts and Crafts movement, Cirencester's timeline is as colourful as it is fascinating. The town's architecture showcases its historic charm, with notable structures like St. John the Baptist Church and the Roman Catholic Church dedicated to St. Peter.

When to visit Cirencester

Cirencester offers a unique charm every season of the year. Spring is awash with vibrant wildflowers, perfect for leisurely walks, whereas summer promises radiant sunshine making pub lunches absolutely delightful. Autumn paints the town in spectacular colours, with cosy log fires creating warm atmospheres, and winter brings magical snowscapes and twinkling Christmas lights.

For the best snow sights, a visit in January or February is recommended, particularly to the delightful village of Snowshill.
