About
A small village straddling the A435, with the Colesbourne estate situated in the beautiful setting of the Churn valley, located half way between Cheltenham and Cirencester
Colesbourne gets a mention in the Domesday Book but there is evidence of earlier occupation - the iron age hillfort, Norbury Camp, is siutated close by to the north of the village. Te church dates back to the 12th century. Colesbourne Park, belonging to the Elwes family for over 200 years, is open to the public during February and early March for its famous snowdrops show and later in the Autumn to see the collection of trees in full colour.
The village has a thriving community including the old coaching inn dating from 1827, old rectory resturant and a modern cookery school offering many experiences.
