Location - Minchinhampton appeals to a mix of generations, not least because of its beautiful Common land which is in the stewardship of The National Trust. Compact with a historic core, it is a friendly and welcoming town with excellent facilities. Its shops include a well-stocked general store, an excellent butcher, a Boots chemist and a Post Office. There are two cafes, a fish and chip shop and The Crown gastro pub, all within a short stroll. Minchinhampton's excellent primary school is highly regarded and Beaudesert Park pre and prep school is around a three minute drive across the Common with nearby Stroud having both boys and girls’ grammar schools. London is circa 2 hours from Minchinhampton by road or about 90 minutes by train from nearby Stroud station. Stroud has a large Waitrose and several other supermarkets. Nearby Nailsworth has a terrific range of independent retailers including William's Kitchen (delicatessen and fresh fish counter) and free parking. Local sports clubs include tennis with flood lit courts, cricket, football and rugby, the town has two golf clubs (with a choice of challenging courses), while the open expanse of the Common is only about five minutes’ walk away.
