Northleach

Situated between Cirencester and Bourton-on-the-Water, Northleach was an important wool town that boasts one of the finest churches in the Cotswolds, the Church of St Peter and St Paul.

The church is situated just off the market place and features decorative brass commemorating the heyday of the wool trade.

Kieth Harding's World of Mechanical Music is located in the town centre, and includes a number of antique clocks and musical boxes, and some early gramophones.
