Why move to Cirencester?
The town is well served by a plethora of highly regarded eating establishments, both in the town centre and in the delightful array of charming villages local to the town. These villages attract a great deal of tourism, including Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and the string of villages along the Coln Valley including Chedworth, Ablington and Winson – all providing delightful homes in the classic honey-coloured Cotswold stone. The increasingly popular Cotswold Water Park provides a great range of water sports and leisure facilities.
