When you're exploring Cirencester, make sure to set aside some time for its excellent local museum.

It’s the perfect place to delve into the fascinating history of what was once Corinium Dobunnorum, the second-largest Roman town in Britain. You'll find an impressive array of artifacts unearthed right here in the area, offering a real insight into daily life over two millennia ago.

Wander through galleries showcasing intricate mosaics, impressive stone carvings, and everyday objects like pottery, jewellery, and tools. Beyond the extensive Roman collection, the museum also tells the story of the Cotswolds through prehistory and the Anglo-Saxon era. It’s a truly comprehensive look at how this part of Gloucestershire developed. After your visit, you’ll have a much deeper appreciation for Cirencester’s rich past as you walk its streets. It's easily accessible in the heart of Cirencester, and a short drive from villages such as Stratton, Baunton, and Siddington, or a bit further from places like Wiggold, Daglingworth, and Coates.
