Often called the "Capital of the Cotswolds," Cirencester is a graceful Gloucestershire market town where honey-coloured stone buildings line streets laid out on Roman foundations. Once one of the most important cities in Roman Britain — second only to London in size — it retains a tangible sense of antiquity alongside a thriving modern community. Positioned roughly equidistant from Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Swindon, the town offers an ideal base for exploring the rolling Cotswold hills and the wider South West.

Cirencester
Location
Cirencester occupies a gently elevated position in the south-eastern corner of Gloucestershire, about 15 miles from Gloucester and sitting at coordinates 51.7119° N, 1.9611° W.
The A419 and A417 provide swift road connections to Swindon, the M4 corridor, and the M5 respectively. Kemble station, just four miles south, serves the Great Western Railway line with regular services to London Paddington, Cheltenham Spa, and Gloucester.
History
As Corinium Dobunnorum, Cirencester was the second-largest urban settlement in Roman Britain, a bustling administrative and trading centre whose wealth is still visible in the mosaics and artefacts preserved at the town's museum. The Romans built an amphitheatre here — its grassy earthworks remain one of the most evocative ancient sites in the Cotswolds.
After the Roman withdrawal, the town evolved into a prosperous wool-trading centre during the medieval period. The magnificent Church of St John the Baptist, funded by the wool merchants, stands as enduring testimony to that golden age. Today, Cirencester blends this layered heritage with independent shops, artisan food producers, and a weekly charter market that has been running in one form or another for centuries.
Transport Links
Kemble railway station, a short drive south of the town, puts Cirencester on the Great Western main line with direct trains to London Paddington in around ninety minutes and to Cheltenham Spa in roughly half an hour. Stagecoach and Pulham's Coaches run local bus services connecting the town to Tetbury, Stroud, and surrounding villages.
For drivers, the A419 leads straight to Swindon and the M4, while the A417 heads north toward the M5 and Gloucester. Our taxi service bridges the gap between these connections, delivering door-to-door reliable transport wherever timetables or routes fall short.
Attractions & Amenities
Cirencester rewards visitors with an unusually rich mix of culture, history, and countryside charm. The Corinium Museum houses one of the finest collections of Romano-British antiquities in the country, including intricate floor mosaics recovered from local excavations. Cirencester Park, the estate of the Bathurst family, offers miles of tree-lined avenues and open parkland — freely accessible for walking, jogging, and picnics.
The imposing Church of St John the Baptist dominates the Market Place with its spectacular perpendicular Gothic tower and fan-vaulted porch. Meanwhile, New Brewery Arts provides a contemporary counterpoint, hosting craft studios, exhibitions, and workshops in a converted Victorian brewery. The town's independent boutiques, antique shops, and well-regarded restaurants give the centre a vibrant, unhurried atmosphere that draws visitors back throughout the year.
Car Parking
The town centre is served by several pay-and-display car parks, including the Waterloo and Forum sites. On-street parking exists but spaces fill rapidly during the Monday and Friday charter markets and over the summer months.
Why wrestle with the parking? A taxi from us removes the stress entirely, dropping you exactly where you need to be and collecting you when you're ready to leave.
