Location - Avening is located in a pretty valley in the south-west of the Cotswolds, nestled between the market towns of Tetbury, Minchinhampton and Nailsworth. Sandford Lodge is located on the High Street, in the heart of the village. The village has a popular pub, The Bell, as well as a primary school, a Norman church and a great community spirit. There are wonderful walks in the vicinity, opportunities to keep a horse locally at livery and the adjacent lanes are popular with cyclists.
