The historic Roman market town of Cirencester is 4.5 miles away and offers a wealth of interesting things to do and see including the Corinium Museum, Roman Amphitheatre, the Brewery Arts Centre, the twice-weekly market on the square (and why not climb the stairs to the top of the St John's Church tower and see the view for miles around?) plus shopping facilities ranging from boutique shops to supermarkets.

There is also a wide range of places to eat in the area, including the Bakers Arms pub in Somerford Keynes (5 minutes walk from Field Farm), if you don't feel like rustling something up using the self-catering facilities in the cottage.
