Cirencester: Guide
Cirencester is a picturesque Cotswolds market town in the England|English county of Gloucestershire, some 93 miles (150 km) west of London.
Understand
Get in
There is no train line to this town, so the only alternatives are buses or cars.
There's usually one bus an hour to Cirencester from Swindon, Cheltenham and Stroud.
Parking in Cirencester has become harder in recent years due to increased prices but there are many carparks near the centre as well as in the market place (not on market days)
Get around
The town is small enough to walk around on foot. Discussions have been taking place as to whether the centre of town (in front of the church) should be pedestrianised - these have been going on for years, so don't hold your breath.
See
the Roman Amphitheatre on the outskirts of the town and not very exciting. Owned by English Hertiage
Greasy Joes. On the edge of Cirencester near the large tesco towards Swindon. Cheap trucker fry ups.
Cafe Bar Good place for a sandwich at lunch
The Polo Canteen
Harry Hares. Well cooked traditional English food. Best food anywhere in the Cotswolds, friendly, attractive and helpful staff.
Slug and Lettuce, West Market Place (facing the front of the church, it will be directly left of you). Reasonable beer. Unexciting chain pub.
Somewhere Else, Castle Street. Trying to be trendy, failing!
Twelve bells, good food, good beer and a friendly cosy environment.
The Bear. Market place outside seating in summer and normally fairly busy.
