This is a typical and pretty stone built south Cotswolds market town dating from the 15th century. There are seven great pubs in the town, full of interesting local characters. There is a wide range of highly-rated restaurants, There are two brilliant Indian restaurants, a great Thai, a top-rated Italian, a consistently-great Chinese, and a cool new Mexican place. There’s a top-class British fine dining restaurant and a very good steakhouse which uses great local produce. The pubs also do really fantastic food and a great pint. There are at least four fantastic bakeries and coffee shops in the town. And after all that over-indulgence, the famous Cotswold Way walk from Bath to Chipping Norton runs across the eastern reaches of the town. On it, there are stunning views to the south Wales mountains from the two Iron Age hill forts just to the north east of the town in Little Sodbury and Horton. There are great walks also to be had on the Badminton Estate, on the eastern outskirts of the town, where the world-famous horse trials take place annually. All around this area is where the Royal Family takes time off. You might like to visit the gardens at Highgrove, Prince Charles’s rural retreat, which is 20 minutes by car. The National Arboretum at Westonbirt is also just this side of Highgrove. The area is also famous for it’s polo tournaments with Princes Charles, William and Harry having played at nearby Beaufort and Cirencester clubs. Princess Anne and her children meanwhile live at Gatcombe Park a few minutes further north near Painswick. Chipping Sodbury is popular for cyclists. And there are two fantastic golf club moments away. Even Britain’s richest man, Sir James Dyson, chose this as his home town!
It is a little-known fact that Robin Gunningham, aka the world-famous street artist Banksy, was born (in July 1973) and grew up about a mile from here in Yate. So too did Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
We are close to historic Bath (30 min drive) to the south and the heart of the Cotswolds to the north. There are lots of good supermarkets, from a large Waitrose (a five minute walk) to a Marks and Spencer Food Hall, a Tesco and a Lidl (a five min drive). There are two award winning local family butchers on the high street a few hundred yards away. The Wave, the first manmade surfing venue of its kind, also recently opened up nine miles away in Easter Compton. All in all, it’s an idyllic spot for a weekend break, longer family staycation or business trip.
