Between them, they support a pub, a primary school, two village halls and three churches. There is a local shop/ post office in the neighbouring village of Poulton, together with a well known gastro-pub, The Falcon. Cirencester is the nearest town and is often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds. Shopping in the town is highly regarded and off the main streets there are many appealing back lanes with boutique shops, particularly Blackjack Street. The Market Place hosts a twice weekly market as well as a Farmers’ Market every other Saturday. Recreational pursuits in the area include sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, boating on the River Thames, cricket, tennis and rugby clubs in Cirencester, golf clubs at Bagendon (Cirencester Golf Club) and South Cerney, whilst the surrounding countryside is crisscrossed by many public footpaths. There is also a good choice of local state and private schools, the latter including Hatherop Castle School and Rendcomb College. The locality is ideal for the commuter, being close to the A419/ A417 which provides easy access to both the M4 and M5.
