The site is set on the upper slopes on the north side of the valley and thus enjoys glorious south facing views.

The village straddles an attractive valley with the River Coln running through. There are a number of Cotswold stone cottages and farmhouses, an attractive Norman Church and other thriving village amenities including a well-respected primary school, a village pub, a cricket club and tennis club. Good schools are within easy reach and sporting opportunities are numerous across the area.

Conveniently situated between Cirencester and Cheltenham the village enjoys easy access to both the M4 and M5 motorways as well as the Midlands via the A429 Fosseway. Access to London is via Junction 15 of the M4 at Swindon to which access is now greatly improved with the construction of the Cirencester and Blunsdon by-passes.
