Westrip is a rural hamlet between Cashes Green and Randwick and is known for its far reaching views and being on the Cotswold Way. Randwick benefits from sports fields, a playground, a well-established primary school, village hall, a local pub, a parish church and nearby walks. There is a revived annual Medieval festival celebrated in the Spring called Randwick Wap. Nearby Cashes Green has couple of local convenience stores, hairdressers, two parks and takeaway food options. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
