The village is home to the well-stocked Ollie’s Shop, providing a selection of an award-winning goods imported from Spain, including cheese, wine, olive oil and ham, whilst there is also an 18th century pub, The Butchers Arms, serving an eclectic menu and selection of ales. The nearby market town of Stroud is well worth a visit, boasting a range of shops, eateries and former textile mills along the valleys, whilst Cirencester is famed for its stunning church and Roman Museum.
