Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds and the site of an Iron Age fortification, embodies everything that is best about old England. There have been numerous fairs in this historic market town since the 12th century, and they continue today with the Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs, and a Farmers’ Market every month. One end of the market square has a historic cross, the other has a row of exquisite Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and a cricket museum. The market square is surrounded by all of these wonderful things.
