Nestled in the countryside, Northleach is an ancient market town rich in history and architectural interest. It owes much of its prosperity to the wool trade, evident in the half-timbered buildings dating back to the 15th century, as well as the impressive church of St Peter and St Paul. Known as the ‘Cathedral of the Cotswolds’, the church is a fine example of 15th century Cotswold perpendicular, with some of the best wool merchants’ brasses in the country. The market place has changed little since the 16th century and provides a centrepiece for lovely independent shops, selling everything from fresh bread and cakes to specialist wines, meat and cheeses. The town boasts a great choice of accommodation, to suit all budgets and tastes, and there’s plenty of cafés and restaurants to enjoy. Don’t miss The Old Prison, an 18th century correction house which includes a café and the Lloyd Baker Wagon Collection. www.cotswolds.com/Northleach Chedworth Roman Villa Yanworth, near Cheltenham GL54 3LJ Tel 01242 890256 www.nationaltrust.org.uk/chedworth EÔ
