Unspoilt by tourism, it has many public footpaths in and around it, and lays claim to being the longest village in England. Nearby is Chedworth Roman Villa, and at just 15 minutes’ drive is the Roman town of Cirencester (Corinium), with its amphitheatre and museum, which has two superb mosaics.

Lovely, well equipped cottage in idyllic Cotswolds village.Only negatives were the awkward parking (Only suitable for small cars) and the fact that the village pub, literally a few minutes walk away, is permanently closed - though an action group is hoping to re-open it.
