Cirencester, known as the Capital of the Cotswolds, is a lovely market town with a fascinating history where you will receive a warm welcome. In Roman times, Cirencester, known as ‘Corinium Dobunnorum’, was the second largest town only to London.  During the 6th century fortunes changed, the Saxons destroyed the town and it was renamed ‘Coryn Ceasre’.  It became a very prosperous wool town in the medieval period, which is the basis for the charming town with ancient honey coloured stone buildings in picturesque narrow streets that you can visit today. Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cirencester is a great town to visit and makes a delightful base for visitors wishing to explore the area. Its easy access to major road networks and mainline railway belies its charming and peaceful character.

Shopping
The Market Place is the heart of the town and is home to a Charter Market (every Monday and Friday) and a Farmers’ Market (every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month). Cirencester’s Corn Hall also boasts a regular programme of markets which include a Home Fashion and Garden Bazaar (from Monday to Thursday), an Antiques and Collectables market (on Fridays) and the Original Craftsman's Market (1st and 3rd Saturdays) and the Cotswold Craft Market (2nd and 4th Saturdays).

The wonderful variety of quality independent shops makes shopping in Cirencester a delight.  Enjoy exploring the courtyards with their individual style, and the many historic streets radiating from the town centre.  Cirencester is renowned for its very special shops, individual boutiques, fascinating antique emporiums and craft shops as well as national chain stores. 
If you want to take advantage of peaceful and pleasant surroundings as you shop, then venture off the main streets and make a point of visiting the Swan Yard, before meandering through to the Old Post Office development.  Other hidden gems include The Woolmarket, situated off Dyer Street, and the Stable Yard, which is off Blackjack Street, packed with the fantastic independent shops and cafes Cirencester is famous for.

Great Attractions

Corinium Museum - Leave the 21st century behind you and discover the archaeology of the Cotswolds as you explore its history at this multi award winning museum.  It is home to one of the largest collections of Romano-British antiquities extensively from Roman Britain's second largest city. Experience life as a Roman and marvel at the stunning mosaics.  The Visitor Information Centre is located in the museum shop.
Roman Amphitheatre – A short walk from the town centre, this English Heritage site is one of the best preserved in Britain.  Now grassed over, it was built in the early 2nd century as part of a grand scheme of Roman town planning, and had a capacity of 8,000 spectators. Pick up a copy of the Whereat Trail for a town walk which includes the Amphitheatre.
New Brewery Arts – Based in a converted Victorian brewery, this is an important centre for crafts in the Cotswolds. Home to a contemporary art gallery, a craft shop, on-site maker studios, and a lovely café, New Brewery Arts offers visitors a unique arts and crafts shopping experience.
Cirencester Parish Church – Cirencester's market square is dominated by the cathedral-like Parish Church of St. John Baptist, one of the finest Cotswold wool churches.  The large south porch with its impressive fan vaulting was built about 1490 and it is a lasting symbol of the town’s wealth and influence in medieval England. As well as admiring the church’s architectural features, see if you can spot the silver-gilt cup which once belonged to Anne Boleyn. With regular guided tours available, a visit to the church is not to be missed.

Our stay was for one week. The place is as pictured. The place was nicely furnished and in town, super close to everything which is great but you do get traffic noise and people noise. There is a bar and club in the area so on some nights you hear people talking loudly as they make their way home. We mainly ate out or heated prepared meals in the oven. There wasn’t really enough pots and pans to prepare a meal. Super short walk to Waitrose supermarket made it very convenient. I had interpreted the listing had parking but it is not private dedicated parking. It is street parking if you can find it or paid parking in close by parking lots. The closest parking lot is 3 hour parking from 8-6. Also the listing had”dryer” with a dryer machine icon as an amenity. Coming from America, that means a machine dryer that tumble dries clothing. However, it was a drying rack that you unfold and hang your clothes to dry. The listing agent offered us a discount to a nearby laundry that we decided not to use since it just complicated things.
