Minchinhampton is located above the Stroud valleys, nine miles west of Cirencester and twenty five miles from Bath. It is within easy reach of all the Cotswolds, and is surrounded by open common which is grazed by wandering cattle and horses

There are three golf courses near by, also gliding, horse riding, water sports, cycling, walking and many other activities. There is plenty of interesting sight-seeing around the historic towns and villages for which the Cotswolds are famous.
