Oakridge Lynch has its roots in the silk weaving industry of the 19th Century. It is now a thriving community with a popular local shop and primary school. There is also a beauty therapist based in the village. -Flora and fauna abound and it is not unusual to see deer, pheasants, foxes and rabbits from the bedroom windows! We have several sites of special scientific interest within walking distance where rare orchids and butterflies can be spotted. At the bottom of the valley runs the old Severn and Thames canal, which provides lovely walks, as does the Wysis way which runs through the village. The Cotswolds way is also close by. -There are many leisure activities on offer locally, including gliding and hot air balloon flights from nearby Aston Down, the multi award-winning Stroud Farmers' Market every Saturday morning and plenty of real country pubs serving excellent food and local ales. -Within easy reach are many historic villages and towns including Cirencester, a pretty market town dating back to roman times. Cheltenham is 30 minutes by car, perfect for a day at the races or a spot of retail therapy!

Trains run regularly from London Paddington with a journey time of around 1 hour 20 minutes. We have off-street parking and a secure lock-up for bikes.
