Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘Didley Squat’ Farm and cafe are just on the outskirts of town and Daylesford Organic Farm, also a 5 minute drive away.

The lovely villages of Kingham and Charlbury are also super close and they have main line train stations for those travelling here without a car.

There are a host of gorgeous country walks nearby including a walk to the 'Rollright Stone's - the Cotswolds own mini-Stonehenge.

Famous Cotswolds villages such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Chipping Campden are close by making Chipping Norton a great base for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds AONB but because we are in the West Oxfordshire part of the Cotswolds, we are also close to Bleinheim Palace and Oxford too.
