CIRENCESTER | A beautiful town in The Cotswolds England

Gimbal Walk TV visits Cirencester, the largest Town in The Cotswolds England. We take a walk around Cirencester Town Centre to see what this historic Cotswolds town is like.
Also watch Whitby 👉🏻 • WHITBY TOUR | Full tou...
Cirencester is a large market town in Gloucestershire, and set in the Cotswolds UK. Situated 80 miles west of London, this town has lots of tourist attractions and beautiful buildings to see if you travel here for a look around.
This is a historic Roman town just minutes away from the beautiful Cotswolds villages, and with a friendly welcome and a terrific market place.
Often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester town centre is dominated by the magnificent Parish Church of St John Baptist overlooking Market Square and the town centre streets full of shops, pubs, restaurants and hotels. Cirencester Parish Church of St. John Baptist is the largest parish church in Gloucestershire.
No trip to the Cotswolds would be complete without a visit to Cirencester for a walk around these historic streets to take a look at the history of the town, and to get a bite to eat or a drink in one of the little coffee shops or cafes in the narrow streets or yards here.
We start this Cirencester Tour at The Bathurst Estate and Cirencester Park on Park Lane, which has a fantastically huge wall and hedgerow to block nosey visitors from peeking in!
As we continue our Cirencester walk we head into the town centre and down past the Corinium Museum which is home to many Roman artefacts from the town and surrounding Cotswolds Villages.
The market stalls in market square are selling their goods as we walk past on the way to the Corn Hall Arcade and Indoor Market.
Our route on this Cirencester Walking Tour is Park Lane, Park Street, Black Jack Street, Silver Street, Market Place, Castle Street and Gosditch Street. We also visit Dollar Street.
On the way we see Cirencester Park, Corinium Museum, Cirencester Visitor Information Centre, St John Baptist Church and the war memorial in Market Square, as well as Corn Hall Indoor Market.

The Cotswolds is a region of exceptional beauty in South West England, spanning the five counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire.
Some of the better known Cotswolds Villages include Burford, Chipping Campden, Stow On The Wold, Bibury and The Slaughters, whilst there are also larger English market towns like Cheltenham, Stroud, Witney and Tewkesbury. All beautiful places to visit in the Cotswolds.
Historical market towns such as Cirencester, Tetbury, Stroud and Tewkesbury offer excellent local shopping with thriving markets bursting with local produce. For those visitors looking to enjoy the countryside from a more urban base the larger towns of Gloucester, with its historic waterfront, and Regency Cheltenham Spa offers impressive architecture, stylish shopping and world-class horse racing.
Cirencester is a perfect example of a historic market town featuring a fantastic market place, shops and markets. Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting the Cotswolds!

With all the history books I have read as soon as Cirencester came up I was so excited. Of course it looks nothing like my history books. It still amazes me how the roads are the string point & buildings built around them eg pointed buildings, round buildings. So many different styles of buildings, & the magical lanes that lead to small shops. A feast for the eyes. Thank you so much.
