LOCATION - Northleach
Northleach is a picturesque former wool market town set in the heart of the Cotswolds, known for its vibrant community and rich architectural heritage. At its centre stands the magnificent parish church of St Peter and St Paul, a landmark dating back to the early 12th century. The town offers an excellent selection of everyday amenities including an award-winning butcher, specialist shops, a traditional vintner, a chemist, welcoming pubs and restaurants, a Post Office and a doctors’ surgery. Northleach enjoys superb connectivity, with the A40 providing easy access to Cheltenham to the west and Oxford and London to the east, while the nearby Fosse Way links to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Birmingham to the north, and Cirencester and Swindon to the south. The area is well served by both state and independent schools, with a Primary School located within the town and the highly regarded Secondary School, The Cotswold Academy in the nearby village of Bourton-on-the-Water. Outdoor pursuits are plentiful, with beautiful countryside walks on the doorstep, racing at Cheltenham, Stratford and Newbury, and an excellent choice of theatres in Cheltenham, Oxford and Stratford.
