Cirencester (/ˈsaɪrənsɛstər/ ( listen), occasionally /ˈsɪstər/ ( listen); see below for more variations) is a market town in east Gloucestershire, England, 93 miles (150 km) west northwest of London. Cirencester lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames, and is the largest town in the Cotswold District. It is the home of the Royal Agricultural University, the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world, founded in 1840. The town's Corinium Museum is well known for its extensive Roman collection. The Roman name for the town was Corinium, which is thought to have been associated with the ancient British tribe of the Dobunni, having the same root word as the River Churn. The earliest known reference to the town was by Ptolemy in AD 150.

Dessous Chic is a wonder underwear shop tucked away in Castle Street. Tanya, the Owner is super friendly, expert at bra fitting and has beautiful stock. Popped in with my daughter for a fitting and it was excellent! It seems like traditional bra fitters are hard to find these days, over taken by much larger chains. But for superb, first class customer service, this shop is well worth a visit. Highly recommended and a very uplifting experience!!!!
