A picture of Winchcombe
Winchcombe, Gloucestershire

Winchcombe, Gloucestershire

The ancient Anglo Saxon town of Winchcombe is situated in a beautiful Cotswold valley mid-way between Broadway and Cheltenham (approx each 15 minutes away by car). The name Winchcombe means 'valley with a bend', and today the town still retains street which curve gracefully along the 'combe'. The inns, restaurants, tea rooms, and shops set among Winchcombe's three main streets are full of the character of times past. In the early 1600's the Winchcombe area was know for tobacco growing and was banned in 1619 due to the vested interest of the industry in America and other colonies.
