About the location

SHEEPSCOMBE

Painswick 2 miles; Stroud 5 miles; Nailsworth 9 miles.

The ancient village of Sheepscombe dates back to the 13th century and was a former deer park and hunting ground and is home to The Laurie Lee Field, used by the village cricket club of which Laurie's uncles were founding members. This thriving village has an excellent pub the Butcher's Arms which serves home-cooked food and real ale, as well as a well-stocked shop and a Grade II listed church, owned by English Heritage. Many lovely walks can be enjoyed in all directions with the Cotswold Way and Wysis Way running close by. The beautiful Fairtrade town of Painswick, known as Queen of the Cotswold, boasts 14th century houses including two donkey doors, wide enough for panniered donkeys to enter, 17th century stocks as well as a stunning church with 99 yew trees. Legend has it that the 100th will not grow! This charming town offers individual shops, tea rooms, pubs and stunning scenery. Nearby, visit the Fairtrade town of Nailsworth, with its art galleries, individual shops and spring music and art festivals. The nearby market town of Stroud, described by the British designer Jasper Conran as the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds, has a somewhat bohemian collection of buildings, squares and lanes tucked into green hills once grazed by countless sheep. Today, it welcomes visitors to its friendly cafes, quaint bookstores, independent shops and tempting eateries. It has the best farmers' market in the UK, according to FARMA in 2013, year-round programmes of music and theatre, a thriving arts scene and a modern cinema. For simply relaxing, Stratford Park on the edge of town offers lakeside walks, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a museum. Head out of town to explore sweeping valleys, canals and country lanes that are ideal for walking or cycling. Visit Winstones Ice Cream Parlour on Rodborough Common, founded in 1925 and one of the most highly awarded producers in the country. The historic waterfront city of Gloucester offers Roman foundations, Victorian Docklands and a magnificent Norman cathedral (whose cloisters were used as a location in the Harry Potter films) rubbing shoulders with a bustling city centre. The delightful Regency spa town of Cheltenham, with its historic Georgian architecture and incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, as well as numerous festivals including the famous Gold Cup horse racing, is just a short drive away and is well worth a visit. This is a wonderful location for your well-deserved holiday at any time of the year.
