An electric vehicle charging point in Stratton, just outside Cirencester, gives you a practical reason to pause here while exploring Gloucestershire.
The location is genuinely useful—you can top up your battery and still have time to slip into Cirencester itself, which really is the heart of the Cotswolds. The town has substantial historical weight, having grown from a significant Roman settlement, and the local museum tells that story well. There's a striking abbey church that's worth seeing, an active market square with real life to it, and plenty of independent shops and restaurants scattered throughout. It's the sort of place where you can genuinely fill an hour or two without feeling rushed, whether you want to browse for something special, grab lunch, or just observe how a proper market town actually functions. Using the charging point here makes real sense—it breaks up your journey through the surrounding countryside and villages without any concern about running low on power. You'll be able to continue on with confidence, exploring the attractive landscape around you at a proper pace.
