????CIRENCESTER | COTSWOLDS ENGLAND VANLIFE!!????
The capital of the Cotswolds apparently. Cirencester, the town of Roman heritage and a massive Abbey as well...
We have come here today as we have done the village circuit and feel as though we couldn't leave without stopping off here. Cirencester is a larger town (not a city) in the Cotswolds and it is pretty much as you would expect. Similar architecture and layout as the others but slightly bigger. A large market sort of area in the middle as standard but also is had the finest greengrocers I have ever seen in my life. I wish we had something like that at home not just stupid supermarkets.
We had a look in the Abbey which was pretty impressive, not sure what difference is between an Abbey and a Cathedral? but it was very impressive. We also popped into the town museum of archaeology, not architecture Becky.
We also decided to end our trip here, we didn't really see the benefit of staying an extra night plus it would be ideal to have to whole of tomorrow to sort out the van and get everything cleaned etc. So yes, hope you enjoyed our trip and make sure you join us on the next one!
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed this video, if you did then don't forget to hit the thumbs up button and subscribe to our channel for more great videos every weekend and quite often during the week too, it's mostly the weekends though just the odd extra thrown in! :)
