Minchinhampton is an old market town in Stroud district, in Gloucestershire, England. Its history goes back to the Iron Age, based on the existence of an Iron Age fort which today is within the Minchinhampton Common.
The commercial and retail area of Minchinhampton huddle tightly around its High Street. There is the usual array of shops within a small town, such as a dairy outlet, a restaurant, a cafe, and others. At the Market Square is a War Memorial and the Market House, built in the 17th century. The two main churches in town are the Holy Trinity Church and the Minchinhampton Baptist Church.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
