Minchinhampton
Minchinhampton is one of the Cotswold's lesser-known towns.
From the vantage point of Minchinhampton Common, some of Stroud's most beautiful valleys open up before you, making you feel you have the Cotswolds at your feet.
Holy Trinity, the lovely church at Minchinhampton's heart, was rebuilt or enlarged in the 12th Century. Its beautiful windows include a wheel-like rose with ogee motifs on the south wall of the fantastic transept, which was rebuilt early in the 14th Century.
The Princess Royal and her then-husband, Captain Mark Phillips, chose Gatcombe Park (within walking distance from the centre) as their home, and both still live in separate parts of the estate. They hold the annual Gatcombe Park Horse Trials there in August, and the world-famous competition attracts the top eventing names and faithful followers from all over the world.
