Description
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. The Market Square is large and
impressive and, surrounded by houses, shops 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.
