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.

Extremely grand building; ground floors with a variety of businesses, the upper floors maybe part of the hotel

The Abbey Gardens; the stones in the grass mark the outlines of the abbey's buildings
