A fantastic family walk in the woods. There's a good access to a shallow end of the river for kids to have a splash. Spot a swing hung by locals and have a go! Walk into the woods for about 10 mins and you'll find a great spot to climb trees. Great fun day out!

City/town information
Cirencester or "Ciren" by the locals. Also referred to as "The Capital of the Cotswolds", is the largest town in the Cotswolds and thanks to Romans it's a perfect base to discover this area and its many amazing villages. Thanks to Kingdom Isambard Brunel train tracks it's an easy train ride from London Paddington or Bristol station.
The town is steeped in history. As you meander down any of the narrow lanes, make sure you visit the Abbey Gatehouse. Built in 1180, just 300 years older than America.
There is always something happening in the market place, not to mention weekly, local farmers and arts & crafts market. The town centre is overlooked by the stunning St. John's Baptist Church.
Whatever you're looking for, be it culture, history, activity or just a place to relax, Cirencester has it in abundance.
