Cirencester Cirencester is a town in Gloucestershire that was founded in the Roman Empire as Corinium Dobunnorum. St. John the Baptist church is within the town's centre; the Abbey Gardens are right around the corner and are a lovely place to chill out during the day. Most of the old buildings are constructed in Cotswold Stone; these give the town a pleasant and welcoming feeling. There is cheap parking in the Old Station Car Park; the station building sadly is currently out of use. |
