Where is your favourite pub or restaurant?
La Passione – good atmosphere with a big round table in the window to enjoy spending time with friends or family. Delicious traditional Italian food and efficient service.
What do you love about the area?
I’ve lived in Cirencester for most of my life and it’s a great friendly place to live with easy access to the surrounding villages, beautiful countryside and nearby larger towns. On a sunny Saturday morning the town has a real buzz, especially in the Market Place if there is a local market, and Black Jack Street, which is full of independent shops and cafes and is a favourite both with locals and visitors to the town.
Where is the best place to relax in the area?
We are incredibly lucky to have The Bathurst Estate, or Cirencester Park as it is known, right in the heart of the town. An amazing green space, with lots of tracks, wooded areas and fields where you can wander for miles and escape the hustle and bustle.
What do you think is the best view in the area?
You used to be able to climb the long narrow spiral staircase to the top of the Parish Church for amazing views of the town and surrounding countryside. Hopefully, they will start these tower tours again soon. A favourite view of mine however is near Down Ampney Church in the Spring. The surrounding fields are quintessentially Cotswold with parkland trees, sheep and lambs – a very peaceful setting.
How would you spend a ‘perfect day’ in the area .
This would have to be on a sunny summer’s day. An early morning walk with my family in the beautiful Cotswold countryside. We love walks near some of the surrounding villages Barnsley, Bagendon, Winson, Coln Rogers, Poulton to name a few, followed by lunch and then lazing in our garden. To finish, an early evening bike ride down some of the tracks near the Cotswold Water Park.
