About the location
CRANHAM
Gloucester 5 miles; Cheltenham 8.8 miles; Stroud 6 miles; Cirencester 10 miles.
The pretty village of Cranham lies in the westerly fold of the beautiful Cotswolds hills, adjoining ancient beech woodlands and Cranham Common, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest with evidence of the largest Iron Age Fort in Europe.
The whole area is surrounded by stunning countryside and offers excellent walks and bridleways, with the Cotswold Way very close by.
Nearby, the historic waterfront city of Gloucester offers Roman foundations, Victorian Docklands and a magnificent Norman cathedral (whose cloisters were used as a location in the Harry Potter films) rubbing shoulders with a bustling city centre.
The delightful regency spa town of Cheltenham, with its historic Georgian architecture and incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, as well as numerous festivals including the famous Gold Cup horse racing, is just a short drive away.
Many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages lie to the east, while to the west are the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean and Slimbridge Wildlife Park.
With the historic towns of Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon around an hour's drive, you'll be spoilt for choice at this fabulous location..
