Winchcombe Attractions

Take the B4632 to Winchcombe (13mi/21km; pop. 4,500), an attractive old Cotswolds town built of gray sandstone. The church, in the Late Perpendicular style (1490), contains carvings from the earlier Benedictine abbey (founded ca. 800), of which nothing now remains.
The church at the centre of Winchcombe, St Peter's, is famous for the gargoyles that adorn it.
Belas Knap
Southeast of Winchcombe, on a hilltop some 1,000ft/305m high, is Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered cairn.
