Stow-on-the-Wold

At nearly 800ft, Stow is the highest of the Cotswold towns, located on the Roman Fosse Way and at the point where several roads meet, hence an important trading centre. It has a long history; it probably dates from a prehistoric fortified settlement on top of the hill and had a special importance in the English Civil War. The last battle was fought close by in Donnington back in 1646.
