Sometimes we are away but Tracy and Nick, our helpers and friends are always nearby to help or we are always available on the end of a mobile phone ! Other things to note Located 3 miles from the Roman town of Cirencester. We look out to the area known as the Source of the River Thames and also the Thames Path. Note - The spring, lake and beginning of the River Thames is viewable during rainy periods throughout the year but then mostly dry and below ground during the drier summer months. The first property on the River Thames !
