Location

Northleach is a small historic town situated about nine miles from the market town of Cirencester. Tucked away from the A40, between undulating hills, it stands at a crossroads on the Roman Fosse Way, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The streets in and around the ancient market place are rich in architectural interest ranging from half-timbered Tudor houses to merchants’ stores. Northleach has an excellent variety of shops including an award winning butcher, a vintner, a chemist and a post office. The town also benefits from a doctor’s surgery, primary school, nursery, a magnificent medieval church and the well regarded Wheatsheaf Inn, a Mr and Mrs Smith boutique hotel. More extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Cheltenham and Oxford. A lively charter market is held every Wednesday and the Charter Fair is held annually in June.
