Churchill is a quintessentially Cotswold village with a church, the excellent Chequers pub, a village heritage centre and great walking in every direction, including the Darcy Dalton Way - a 65-mile, long distance walking trail. Churchill is in the enviable position of being located in a triangle between the three hugely popular Cotswold towns of Chipping Norton, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold, providing a huge array of things to do and places to visit in each location. The Chequers, a highly acclaimed pub and restaurant, is just 50 metres from the front door. Churchill is surrounded by great walking country, including the Darcy Dalton Way - a 65-mile-long trail named after Colonel d'Arcy Dalton a founding member of the Oxford Fieldpaths Society that can be joined at Hastings Hill. It runs from Wormleighton in Oxfordshire to the Ridgeway near the Wiltshire border, crossing the Thames Path and passing through the Cotswolds on its way. Amongst many places of interest, you can walk on public footpaths directly from the cottage to Daylesford and to Kingham.
