The AreaNaunton

Naunton is a superb village, made up of beautiful houses on the Windrush River and renowned for its thriving community that supports a pub, church, village hall, cricket club, golf club as well as a number of further clubs and societies. The village is also well known for the strong connection to the racing world being home to prestigious trainers Ben Pauling and Nigel Twiston-Davies, the latter having trained winners of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Grand National.

The neighbouring, Guiting Power, is a typical Cotswold village made up of russet-coloured houses clustered round a sloping green. This delightful village is a fascinating example of the unconscious harmony created by Cotswold masons over the centuries. The cottages, shops and inns are all beautifully cared for. The Farmers Arms in the village and the Hollow Bottom Inn on the road leading to Winchcombe form welcome breaks on a number of glorious walks that can be taken in this area.

Cheltenham would be the nearest large town and provides broader shopping and recreational needs. This edge-of-Cotswolds spa town is hard to beat for refined elegance and Regency terraces, annual festivals, premier schools and racecourse. There is a fortnightly farmers market, shops and restaurants all surrounded by glorious countryside.

Cheltenham has previously been selected by The Sunday Times newspaper as one of the best places to live in Britain. The Promenade is considered to be one of the most beautiful thoroughfares in the country, with its tree lined avenue flanked by smart shops and cafés. Cheltenham is home to a number of festivals, the most notable being the world renowned, Cheltenham Festival – a highlight in the National Hunt Season, it provides an unrivalled atmosphere.

Near Naunton is the Cotswolds Farm Park with many interesting breeds of animal and is a favourite destination of families. Places to visit close-bye include Winchcombe and Sudely Castle, the popular village of Broadway, the old market town of Stow-on-the -Wold and its many antique shops, the village of Bourton-on-Water as well as the many surrounding idylic Cotswold villages and inns.

There are a number of state and private schools in the area, with schools in Bourton-on-the-Water, Kingham and Cokethorpe, along with the Oxford schools including the Dragon School, Magdalen College School and St. Edwards School. There are a host of others nearby including Kitebrook Prep School, St Hughes Prep School, Hatherop Castle School along with Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham College and Dean Close in Cheltenham.

Road communications are fantastic to the A40 which in turn provides access to London, and the M5 to the west.
