CTL Cafe sits in the village of Stratton, just north of Cirencester, and works well as a stopping point when you're out exploring the area.
Whether you're walking, cycling, or simply passing through, it's a natural place to rest for a bit.
The cafe does good coffee and a selection of teas, along with homemade cakes and light lunch options. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you'll find both locals and visitors here, which gives you a genuine feel for how village life moves at a different pace compared to Cirencester's busier centre. Stratton's location right on the edge of Cirencester means you're conveniently positioned between the market town itself—with its independent shops and Roman heritage sites—and the quieter Cotswolds countryside that stretches beyond.
That positioning makes it straightforward to use the cafe as a refreshment stop before heading into town or continuing deeper into the landscape. You can drop in for twenty minutes or settle in for longer, depending on what fits your day. It's one of those places that works whether you're after a quick rest or want to linger and absorb the local rhythm of things.
