Situation
The Mount is situated on the edge of the ancient Saxon town on Winchcombe which is tucked away on the Cotswold edge and sheltered on three sides by pleasantly wooden hills. The town itself was one of the seats of the Saxon kings of Mercia and was later a county town until it was absorbed by Gloucestershire. The town provides an excellent range of day to day shopping facilities along with a range of restaurants and inns. Within about seven miles is the Regency spa town of Cheltenham renowned for its high quality shopping, period buildings and most attractive municipal gardens. In also provides wonderful leisure activities including the well known literary, cricket and music festivals it holds along with the famous racecourse which plays host to the Gold Cup every Spring.
Educationally Cheltenham is the centre for Gloucestershire with Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies’, Dean Close and St Edwards all being excellent senior independent schools. Cheltenham College Junior, Dean Close, St Edwards, Berkhampstead and The Richard Pate School are independent junior schools. There is also a wide choice of comprehensive and secondary schools including Pates Grammar School in Cheltenham and Winchcombe School in Winchcombe.
The surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking and riding over the Cotswolds, along the many footpaths and bridleways.
