Chedworth



Chedworth is a village in the Cotswolds, seven miles north of Cirencester. It is most famous for its Roman Villa, cared for by the National Trust. Many of the buildings were built hundreds of years ago, and the local pub, the Seven Tuns is a pleasant (if busy) place to retire after walking through the surrounding countryside.

Visitor information

 * Chedworth visitor information

By train
The railway line that once cut through the village was closed in the 1960s.

By car
This is probably the only sensible way to get here, parking could be a problem though. To get here you'll generally want to get onto the A429 (the Fosseway). The turn off for the village is in a dip and is just a small country lane.

By bus
The bus service (once a week to the village! or several times a day to a stop on the main road (the Fosseway - aka A429), two miles away.

By foot
Chedworth offers excellent walking with many footpaths and the Monarch and Macmillan Way run through the village.

Get around
The village is about a mile long, so there's no need to drive once inside the village. The centre of the village is smaller than that anyway, with the Church and Pub within 2 minutes walk of each other.

Do

 * Go for walks to the Roman Villa! But be aware that it's overpriced for what it is (£13.20 with gift aid) while there are just a few mosaics to see, however, some of these are very fine and important to the study of 4th-century Britain.

Buy
At the south east end of the village on Fields Road there is a large farm shop. This has dairy and butchery sections, featuring local produce as well as "basics".

Attached to the shop is cafe with views over farm land and space for children to play.
