Stow‑on‑the‑Wold is a market town and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England, situated on top of an 800‑foot hill. It lies at the junction of main roads through the Cotswolds, including the Roman‑origin Fosse Way (A429). The town was founded by Norman lords to capture trade from the converging routes. Fairs have been held by royal charter since 1330, and a horse fair continues on the edge of town nearest to Oddington each May and October. The locality is part of the GL 54 postal district, giving it a distinct regional identity. Its historic character and regular market events suggest a strong sense of community and a blend of rural charm with convenient road access. The surrounding countryside offers typical Cotswold scenery, and the town’s position on a hill provides panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.
