Stow on the Wold is a centuries old hilltop market town that stands high on the Fosseway. The beautiful large market square is surrounded by houses, shops and inns all glowing in the warm natural stone. In the centre of the town stands the medieval Market Cross, scene of the surrender by the Royalists following their defeat by the Parliamentarians at the Battle of Stow in 1646.
A Stow-on-the-Wold encased map offers some information about the history of the town. It is located just outside the Maugersbury Road carpark.
