Chipping Campden is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies within comfortable driving distance of the main centres of Cheltenham, Worcester and Stratford-upon-Avon. There are fast train services to London Paddington from nearby Moreton-in-Marsh station. Chipping Campden itself offers a very good range of shops and other services catering for most day-to-day needs including a doctor’s surgery and library. For those interested in country pursuits the general area provides excellent riding and walking within countryside designated as a Special Landscape Area. There are excellent sporting opportunities in the region including golf at Broadway and Naunton Downs, Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham.
