Tallet Cottage

LOCATION
Eastleach is a small sought-after Cotswold village, set in the Leach Valley between Burford and Cirencester. The village is characterised by its traditional Cotswold stone houses and historic churches to either side of the River Leach and famous clapper bridge. The village has a very active community with a village hall, and the well known Victoria public house. The surrouding countryside has excellent footpaths directly on the doorstep. Burford is approximately 6 miles away, providing a good range of shops, cafés, pubs and everyday amenities, while Lechlade, Fairford and Cirencester offer further shopping, dining and leisure facilities including secondary schooling at Farmors in Fairford. The village is also well placed for access to the wider Cotswolds, making it an excellent base for both country living and exploring the surrounding area.
