Cirencester Caravan Holidays
Whilst Cirencester isn’t perhaps your typical caravan holiday resort as its not on the coast and it isn’t full of huge attractions it does have lots of charms in it’s self and with the biggest charm of the town been it’s location in the Cotswolds, a caravan holiday park gives you the best base to make the most of that location.
On a caravan park you are not only living amongst nature but you are relaxed from the start of your holiday to the end. From waking up to bird song to watching the sunset before bed, the very best of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed on a caravan holiday in Cirencester.
Cirencester Attractions
With no theme parks, beaches, towers, promenades or heritage train lines, on the face of it you may think that the only attraction of Cirencester is that it is a gateway to the Cotswolds and the many idyllic villages and miles or unbroken countryside but that would be doing a great disservice to this popular town.
The Cotswolds is an historic part of the south west and with an important part to play in the Roman history. The towns Corinium Museum has a large collection of significant finds from the Roman Town of Corinium.
Culture lovers can also enjoy a day out and the Elemental Sculpture Park which allows you to stroll around a beautiful woodland trail whilst looking at some wonderful pieces of art form local and interesting sculptors.
If horticulture is your thing, the towns park and the Cerney House Gardens are the places to be and are great places to relax whilst the perfectly manicured gardens at Rodmarton Manor give an insight into the history of the wealthy in the Cotswolds.
Cirencester and the local area is also home to numerous historic and religious sites including All Saints Church, Cirencester Amphitheatre and the Parish Church of St John Baptist.
