This is a fabulous factory shopping outlet but it does get incredibly busy, especially at weekends. I would recommend going around 5pm as it is open until 8 pm and the coachloads will have hopefully left by then. alternatively go first thing in the morning. www.bicestervillage.com

Neighborhoods

Fairford is a small town in The Cotswolds with 17th & 18th century stone houses. The 15th century St Mary's Church is well worth a visit as it is one of the most magnificent wool churches in The Cotswolds. The Coln Gallery is a wonderful book and gift shop, which is perfect for a potter. Have a meal at The Bull or a coffee at Lynwoods, which makes excellent sourdough bread. Fairford is two miles away and has a good butcher, two convenience stores, a post office, a chemist, a lovely book/gift/card shop, beauticians etc. On a Wednesday morning there is a lovely market, which is well worth a visit.
