サイレンセスターのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

St Kenelm's church is well worth a look inside

One of many hare’s dotted round Cirencester. Part of a hare trail that took place a few years ago, some were sold off and a few remain.

Lovely old street, 3 minutes from town centre and in the other direction Ciren Park

The Still Water sculpture is no longer there. It’s been replaced with another horse sculpture by Hamish Mackie

What you don't expect: You'll be happy to find shade on the Thames Path, as large parts of it are very sunny and temperatures are around 30 degrees, especially in summer. Even when it rains, a little protection from trees is good. In the event of a thunderstorm, it's definitely advisable to take refuge in a small wood like this instead of continuing on the path in open terrain. We needed to do this twice.

The Monarch's Way is a well-known hiking / trail running route. Based on the route taken by King Charles II during the Civil War. This section is right by Cirencester Abbey and in the Town Centre. Nearby is "The Fleece" pub & restaurant, which also has some interesting history. The king is said to have stayed in room 1 while on the "monarchs way"

I'm an absolute SUCKER for old buildings like this! To think of all they've seen. It's worth walking down this street. You get a weird sort of "narrowing" sensation, even though the road remains the same width!

I didn't even spot this at first! I was busy looking at the pretty buildings! This is on the corner of a path that leads down to a riverside walk & the open-air swimming pool.
