STONEHOUSE

Learn English in Stonehouse

Stonehouse, in the county of Gloucestershire is a small, peaceful city, located to the North-East of London, and only 64 kilometres from Stratford-upon-Avon and 80 kilometres from Bath. Stonehouse was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, when William the Conqueror ordered that they keep a record of the value of the kingdom. Nowadays, this tranquil city of around 8,000 residents is a perfect spot for students to learn English in a safe environment.
