- Where is your favourite pub or restaurant?
I adore The Close Hotel, whether it is for their fabulous breakfast or a glass of champagne in the garden on a summers day. - What do you love about the area?
The beauty – I have lived in many places but the sheer beauty of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire is something to behold. From rolling countryside to honey coloured stone houses, fabulous transport links and quirky events like the Wacky Races in Tetbury or the Boules tournament in the centre of Sheraton. - Where is the best place to relax in the area?
My favourite place to go is Westonbirt Arboretum, get back to nature, follow the trails, scuff the leaves in Autumn and breathe! - What do you think is the best view in the area ? The one that gets me every time is when the Church of St Mary’s is lit up in the evening on a misty night, something a little bit ethereal.
- How would you spend a ‘perfect day’ in the area ? I would begin with breakfast at The Close Hotel, after exploring the shops of Tetbury I would head to Malmesbury to wander along the old walls and the river walk, before picking up a picnic at The Summer Cafe and head into the beautiful Wiltshire villages of Sutton Benger, Grittleton and Burton. Pick up a few things from the Farm Shop in Burton before heading back to Sherston for dinner at The Rattlebone Inn. Right I’m off!

Where is your favourite pub or restaurant?
I love to visit The Crown in Minchinhampton. It has such a warm cosy atmosphere, and their outdoor seating area is a great place to sit and have a drink, especially during the winter months when the outdoor tent it is covered in fairy lights with heaters and blankets.
What do you love about the area?
It has to be the cows on the common! I love being surrounded by the open countryside and having big highland cows just strolling down the road.
Where is the best place to relax in the area?
I love to sit on the common and relax whilst drawing, reading, or just taking in the views.
What do you think is the best view in the area?
Watching the sunset from either Rodborough Common or Coaley Peak Viewpoint is always a very impressive sight.
How would you spend a ‘perfect day’ in the area?
The summer months in Minchinhampton are my favourite; Winstones Ice cream is a short walk away, impressive kites are being flown on the common and the cows are roaming free (they even walk past our front door!).

Chippenham is a flourishing and lively town with a thriving town centre and a number of out-of-town shopping areas. The “Buttercross” which was originally erected in 1570 stands as the centre-piece of the pedestrianised area of the town centre where markets are held weekly on a Friday and Saturday with a variety of traditional and modern stalls. A Farmers Market where locally produced foods can be purchased is also held fortnightly.
The town has a good selection of schools for all ages in and around Chippenham including the Chippenham campus of Wiltshire College.
