Where is your favourite pub or restaurant? A particular favourite is The Eliot Arms in South Cerney. Great food, lots of nooks and crannies to sit in and soak up the gorgeous atmosphere.
What do you love about the area? I love Cirencester and its vibe… there are so many fabulous independent shops to explore and always something to do and see.
What do you think is the best view in the area? There are so many to choose from, but Bourton-on-the-Water bridges are so lovely and probably the most iconic sights in the whole of the Cotswolds.
Where is the best place to relax in the area? I personally love to potter around the fab antique shop in the Market Place, it’s packed with an array of antique jewellery, Art Deco pieces, tea sets…I can lose myself in there for hours.

Where is your favourite pub or restaurant?

11 Step Plan to sell for the best price
Achieve the best price for your property in the shortest amount of time with the help of our free guide.
Welcome to Fairford
Jim Chamberlayne, who heads up sales in Cirencester and Fairford, introduces the beautiful Cotswolds town of Fairford.
Selling and letting in Fairford
Perry Bishop has successfully helped sellers and landlords in Fairford market their property and achieve the best price for a number of years. Our team will be with you each step of the way, making sure you understand every move so you can make informed decisions.
From a detailed property valuation that takes into account the local Fairford housing market to reporting feedback from viewings to liaising with the relevant parties, we’ll be offering our expert advice and guidance to make sure you get your sale or let over the line. Below, we’ve created a Local Area Guide for buyers or renters looking to move to Fairford.
Fairford guide
Fairford is a well located town that sits on a lovely stretch of the River Coln in the Cotswold Hills situated east of Cirencester, west of Lechlade and north of Swindon.
About Fairford
It has origins dating back to the 9th Century and was also an important coaching town on the old London to Gloucester route with some of the Inns and Hotels today, reminders of this bygone era.
There has been a Mill in Fairford since Medieval times, the Mill even gets a mention in the Domesday Book. In 1086 there were actually three working Mills belonging to Fairford Manor, one of which was on the site of the current Mill.
Local amenities in Fairford
Although a small town, Fairford benefits from a wide range of shops catering for everyday needs with facilities including a doctor’s surgery, hospital outpatient clinic, dentist, opticians and library.
The town has a traditional market every Wednesday with a variety of stalls including fish, cheese, fresh flowers and plants, jewellery, artisan foods and much more, along with a continental market twice a year and a festive market for Christmas on the first Friday of December.
There is a good selection of schooling around the area with Fairford having its own pre-school, primary school and secondary school.
Leisure and activities in Fairford
The town has a great community spirit and an abundance of clubs for all ages including sports clubs, environmental societies and art clubs along with many community events like the annual Town Council Festive Market and Fairford Festival which takes place over a weekend. Full of fun and filled with events for all ages, there are fun runs, live music, parades, children’s parties, art and historical photographic exhibitions. Every July, the Royal International Air Tattoo comes to town which is the biggest military air show in the world.
Fairford attracts many walkers, there are short heritage walks around the town along with picturesque walks in the countryside and along the River Coln where there is the opportunity to see kingfishers, swans, little grebe, brown trout and water voles. Cotswold Water Park offers water based activities as well as walking, cycling and wildlife spotting. It also has its own beach and despite its size, 150 lakes in 40 square miles, it’s a well kept secret.
The Walnut Tree Field located in the centre of town has something for everyone with its children’s playground, tennis courts, skate ramp, basketball net, table tennis and adult exercise equipment. Also, Farmor’s Sports Centre offers sports and fitness activities along with fitness programmes to suit people of all ages. The town is also well served with four pubs, one hotel, a great Italian restaurant in the town centre and a number of local cafés.
Transport links in Fairford
Roads running through Fairford connect the town to the M4 or M5 motorway and the closest railway station is Swindon. You’ll find frequent services to London Paddington, Swansea and Bristol Temple Meads.
