About The Directory
The Bishop’s Cleeve, Woodmancote & Winchcombe Directory followed in the footsteps of its sister-publication, The Tewkesbury Directory, and has been around since 2009. The directory is glossy, stylish and packed with the latest community news, local information, regular features, puzzles and competitions, to ensure residents keep the magazine as a handy local reference guide until the next issue arrives. Also delivered bi-monthly, the two directories are delivered in alternate months. For advertising in Bishop’s Cleeve and Winchcombe areas look no further!

Gardeners are often nagged by the question of how best to harvest and store the fruit that matures in their garden (that is, after their neighbours have had their fill).
