Location
Tyte Cottage is located in the quaint village of Great Rollright, the larger of The Rollright’s, with Little Rollright approximately two miles to the west. Set on top of a hill, this village has panoramic views across the valley, and just a short drive away are the megalithic Rollright Stones, a prehistoric stone circle. As the village is located away from heavy tourist roads, it allows visitors to get a real sense of rural life, such as enjoying the glorious countryside, the open vistas and the lovely woodlands which fall within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Great Rollright is approximately three miles north of the famous market town of Chipping Norton, which has a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Great Rollright is ideally placed for exploring the Cotswolds region, whether walking, cycling or driving through the beautiful countryside and lovely towns and villages.
