Living in Gloucestershire
Further east, the quintessentially pretty towns and villages that are such a feature of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, include the poetically named Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. And while Bibury doesn't have a long name, it must surely be one of the prettiest villages in all of England.
The capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester (the Roman town of Corinium) has twice weekly markets, and is a bustling centre packed with high end stores, high street chains and coffee shops. To the West, Stroud, built in the five valleys, has always been much more bohemian with its own independent shops and arts & crafts vibe. Cheltenham, is a spa town with stunning regency architecture, fabulous eateries and designer shops; while the cathedral city of Gloucester, with its revamped Gloucester Docks and Shopping Outlet is a great place to eat, shop and enjoy.
Your new property in Gloucestershire has the M5 weaving its way south to Bristol and north to Birmingham, shadowed by the A38. The A429 links the M5 to the M4 for easy journeys to London, while the A40 connects Cheltenham to Oxford and offers excellent routes to the East.
