Come for Jeremy Clarkson and stay for the rest: the best pubs, attractions and pretty villages in the Cotswolds
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JEREMEY Clarkson's popular farming show, which is launching a new series on May 23, has made the Cotswolds a go-to destination. And whilst many fans flock to the 'celebrity playground' and spend hours in a queue to see Diddly Squat Farm Shop, there are several picturesque villages and attractions to explore nearby. 7 The Cotswolds are home to a number of different quaint villages Credit: Alamy 7 In Chipping Norton, there is a lido, theatre and cinema Credit: Alamy Just five minutes from the farm is the village of Churchill. A slightly further drive away, are Kingham, Charlbury, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Milton-under-Wychwood and Bledington. Tracy Archer, owner director at StayCotswold, said: "The scenery [of the Cotswolds] is gorgeous - with walks for everyone from those after a gentle weekend stroll to a serious hike. "Our towns and villages are absolute gems too, packed with lovely shops, great pubs, cosy cafés, and restaurants full of artisan treats and local produce." And there are more pubs to explore than just Jeremy's, such as Chequers at Churchill, The Fox at Broadwell, The Plough in Prestbury, The Chequers in Chipping Norton, The Kings Head in Bedington, The Fox at Great Barrington, The Feathered Nest at Nether Westcote. As for things to do, Tracey said: "The Model Village at Bourton is always a hit, and Cotswold Motoring Museum is great for mini petrol heads. "Try Cotswold Distillery for a fascinating tour with a refreshing tipple or relax at Cotswold Country Park and Beach." "Quirky traditions also make this place unique. "Where else can you watch football being played in an actual river like the team local to Bourton-on-the-Water do on a Bank Holiday Monday? "Or people hurling themselves down a hill chasing cheese as happens every second May Bank Holiday at Coopers Hill in Cheltenham." Jeremy Clarkson shares FIRST glimpse inside his new £1M Cotswolds pub The regional calendar is packed with events too , including The Big Feastival, Cheltenham Races, Forest Live at Westonbirt, Wilderness Festival and many events at Blenheim Palace. For food, Tracey claimed the Cotswolds has some of the best spots in the UK. "The Bull at Charlbury, The Wild Rabbit in Kingham, and The Old Butchers in Stow are just a few local favourites. "For something really special, check out Michelin-starred places like The Royal Oak at Whatcote, Lumiere or Le Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham." One specific village that Tracey says is a must to see, is Chipping Norton. The village is home to a theatre, a lido and Soho Farmhouse. 7 The Cotswolds are also home to a number of great walks Credit: Alamy 7 And some unusual traditions... Credit: Alamy Tracey said: "Chippy theatre is not only a place to watch a fabulous show, it is also an arthouse cinema, gallery and concert hall. "They pride themselves on bringing the local community together to experience art and entertainment, producing and co-producing their own work whilst also touring other venues across the country." As for Chipping Norton's Lido, it features scenic surroundings and offers a great spot to refresh. "If you're fortunate enough to be a member of the Soho House group, don't miss the chance to experience the luxurious Soho Farmhouse," Tracey added. "Set in the tranquil Oxfordshire countryside, it's a haven of relaxation, offering spa treatments, restaurants, and a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life." Nearby, at Larksworld, two best friends - Melinda and Emma - host crafting workshops. Tracey shared: "From willow sculpture to basket weaving, silversmith and scented candle making workshops their studio overlooks a wild meadow so makes for the perfect place to get your craft on." 7 For history lovers, there is even a neolithic stone circle Credit: Alamy For a spot of history, visitors can head to the Great Rollright Stones - a neolithic stone circle with a fascinating history, located on the Oxfordshire and Warwickshire border. "Wander among the ancient stones – the Whispering Knights, the King's Men and the King Stone – and soak in the mystique of this prehistoric site. "Visit in the evening for incredible stargazing under the clear sky," suggested Tracey. The village is also home to Hook Norton Brewery, which is a family business that offer visitors the chance to discover the art of traditional brewing through a tour. Guest get to sample some of the award-winning ales at the brewery, which has been operating since 1849. Alternatively, head to the Farmers Market, which takes place every Wednesday and third Saturday of the month. 7 A local brewery, dating back to 1849, also offers tours Credit: Alamy Tracey revealed: "It's a delightful opportunity to sample and purchase locally sourced produce to stock your holiday cottage cupboards, or take away artisanal goods and handcrafted gifts as a memento of your Cotswold holiday." For a cosy evening experience, head to the Living Room Cinema. "Housed in a historic building, this independent cinema screens a mix of mainstream and indie films, providing a unique cinematic experience," concluded Tracey. StayCotswold offers several properties in the Cotswolds including cottages, barns, shepherds' huts and houses full of history - both near and away from the former Top Gear presenter's farm. The Sun's Kara Godfrey grew up in the Cotswolds and even had a favourite town to visit. Plus, the pretty Cotswolds village tourists often forget about with cosy cottages and hilarious pub locals.
