- Visit the biggest town in the Cotswolds, Cirencester
Cirencester is the biggest town in the Cotswolds, and its unofficial capital. An old Roman settlement, it retains its historic charm with a range of roman architecture, including one of the largest amphitheaters in Britain.
History buffs will love the Corinium Museum of Roman artefacts, and the medieval Abbey Grounds, whereas lovers of the outdoors can make the most of the Cotswold Country Park and Beach - a reservoir with a manmade beach offering kayaking, paddle boarding and even an inflatable obstacle course.
- Gloucester Cathedral
If you love the beautiful architecture of a Gothic Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral should tick all the boxes, but there’s more to see than just the turrets and spires. Not far from our Alder Green development in Alderton, the cathedral has 1,300 years of history, an archive library and even the tomb of King Edward II!
- Get active on the Cotswolds’ walking and cycling routes
The Cotswolds are a perfect place for walkers and cyclists with many routes available throughout the region, allowing users to experience the natural beauty as they get active.
