Situation The sought after village of Daglingworth is a pretty Cotswold village surrounded by Duchy of Cornwall and Bathurst Estate land, at the centre of which is Cirencester Park. The village has a reputation as a friendly rural community and there is a parish church which was rebuilt in Victorian times which retains an element of Anglo Saxon work together with a 15th century west tower. 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 interesting back lanes with specialist shops, particularly in Black Jack Street. The Market Place hosts a twice weekly market as well as a Farmer’s Market every other Saturday. There are two supermarkets in Cirencester: Waitrose and Tesco. Recreational pursuits in the area include sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, boating on the River Thames, polo at nearby Cirencester Park, and there are cricket, tennis and rugby clubs in Cirencester and golf clubs at Bagendon (Cirencester Golf Club) and South Cerney. The surrounding countryside is crisscrossed by many public footpaths. The locality is ideal for the commuter; it is close to the A419/A417 which provides easy access to both the M4 and M5. There is also a regular Great Western rail service from Kemble to London Paddington taking approximately 75 minutes. There is also an excellent range of private and state schools in the area.
