Top 10 Things to do in Cirencester, England
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.

Visited as part of a varied group attending before a wedding that day. The event was professionally organised with good humour. Excellent pre-drive briefing with no information overload. Demonstration driving and tuition were both fantastic with enthusiasm. It’s a great and unusual experience so thoroughly recommended. I quite fancy the rally car experience too.

Discover a new hobby this year and book yourself an Archery/ Air Rifle/Crossbow beginner lesson at The Cotswold Range. A purpose built, low-capacity venue allowing supervised shooting with our qualified instructors (Archery GB and NSRA). Unlike many ranges we have sheltered shooting huts which allows us to continue even in bad weather. All lessons are done with beginners in mind however if you have done these activities before we are sure you haven't done it our way. With a huge selection of games available and Hall of Fames to be conquered, let the fun competitions begin! Our reviews speak volumes!

We had a great afternoon with friends doing the air rifles and archery, both were great fun and we found it very addictive trying to better our scores! The instructor was brilliant, both friendly and informative and made it such a fun experience for us all. Would definitely recommend!

Definitely make time to go to this pool, well worth it! Sat nav directs you to the entrance of a park, park in front of the castle where you'll have all day, the other side is limited to 2 hours, both free though, there is parking a little further away for town centre but you have to pay. A little hard to find, we had to ask someone, if you walk away from the park area and turn left there is 1 sign! Once you get in there its amazing; limited seats so get there early If you know it's going to be a hot day, we left the pool at about 11:20 and it was starting to get heaving then. Swimming goggles, ice creams and drinks all available, reasonably priced, books/ costumes to hire at a low donating, lockers £1 refundable. You can use your card to buy things and pay entrance fee which is under £15 for a family of 4. Slide available to use after 11am, really good life guards keeping control of any unruly behaviour. Toddler/ baby pool. Shaded/ covered in areas for sun shade or rain.

It was lovely meeting Sue & the boys for our private hands-on experience with the alpacas. She even cooked us a very tasty apple crumble. A rewarding experience, which we highly recommend to all.
