The town is located at a crossroads of main roads from Tetbury, Gloucester and Swindon, leading to its being named the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds.’
The Corinium Museum contains a range of Roman artefacts and a reconstruction of the Roman town of Corinium. There are also interesting mosaics and treasures recovered from a burial site.
The town has a parish Church with an tall, imposing tower that has impressive views over Cirencester Park and the surrounding countryside.
