About

The central area of Cirencester sits around the Market Place, where the main streets meet and a regular market takes place. Shops, cafés and a scattering of offices line the high street and lead down to the parish church of St John the Baptist, whose tower and nave dominate the skyline. The Corinium Museum occupies a compact site close to the town centre and displays local Romano-British finds, including mosaics and carved stones recovered from nearby sites. The River Churn flows through the town centre, visible at several footbridges and contributing to the layout of lanes and green spaces along its banks.

A short walk from the Market Place brings you to Cirencester Park and the parkland estate that frames the town. On the park edge are the earthworks of a Roman amphitheatre, a clear reminder of the town’s Roman past found within easy reach of the centre. The area supports weekly markets, independent traders, a handful of long-established pubs and routes out into surrounding Cotswold countryside, making the central district a convenient base for exploring the immediate locality.
