What is Cirencester known for?

Cirencester, often called the 'Capital of the Cotswolds', is known for its deep historical roots, particularly from the Roman period. During Roman times, it was known as Corinium Dobunnorum and became the second-largest town in Roman Britain after Londinium (modern-day London). The town is renowned for its Roman heritage, which is showcased at the Corinium Museum. Today, Cirencester is equally famous for its stunning Cotswold stone architecture, lively town centre filled with independent shops and cafes, and access to natural beauty such as the Cotswold Lakes (previously known as the Cotswold Water Park) and Cirencester Park. Its historic Market Place is still a vibrant hub for weekly markets and local events.
