At 40 square miles the Cotswold Water Park is approximately the same size as the Island of Jersey. It is that part of the Upper Thames catchment in North Wiltshire & South Gloucestershire which has been subjected to over 50 years of sand & gravel extraction.
Cirencester is the nearest of the Cotswolds Market Towns and as you would expect there are plenty of places to shop and numerous inns but lodgings and accommodation in the town centre is a little limited.
