Winchcombe


Winchcombe is a small, unspoilt Cotswold town where you will still find Butchers, Bakers and Greengrocers. It is an ideal base for walking in the Cotswolds being at the intersection of the Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wardens Way, the Windrush Way, the Wychavon Way and the unofficial St Kenelm's Way.
