Latest house prices for Stow On The Wold, Cheltenham

Stow-on-the-Wold sits at 800 feet, making it the highest town in the Cotswolds and a natural focal point where seven major roads - including the Roman Fosse Way - converge. Set roughly twenty miles east of Cheltenham, it is defined by its vast limestone market square, which still features the original iron rings used for tethering livestock during the great medieval wool fairs. The architecture is dominated by deep honey-coloured stone, particularly evident in the narrow ‘tures’ (alleyways) that were specifically designed to channel sheep into the market. While it is well-known for St Edward’s Church with its famous yew-tree framed door, locals know it more practically as a functional hilltop hub with a reliable collection of independent grocers, a secondary school that serves many of the surrounding villages, and a weather-hardy character that persists even when the winter winds blow across the high wold.
