Stow on the Wold

About

Famous as a centre for antiques, Stow-on-the-Wold, situated on the Roman Fosse Way, has a long history and probably dates from a prehistoric fortified settlement on top of the hill.
It's location, at the intersection of several roads in the north Cotswolds, means that there is easy access to hotels in Stow in the Wold, England’s hidden gem with so much heritage and history. Stow on the Wold maps highlight the town's position as handy for Oxford, Stratford Upon Avon and Cheltenham.
The Market Square is large and impressive and, surrounded by houses, shops, hotels and inns all built in the local Cotswold stone. It gives the feeling of being the focus of town life over many centuries. At nearly 800ft, Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest of the Cotswold towns, approached uphill from all directions.
