Church Farm

Here for the historical sites? Warwick Castle (half an hour's drive) will get you into the historical spirit with live shows (and birds of prey shows, for the bird fans among you). The National Trust’s Hidcote (15 minutes) is just as splendid a historic setting, with secret gardens and a manor house. Characterful towns or villages too? The high street in Chipping Campden (15 minutes) has been strolled down since the 14th century, and the market hall adds plenty of extra character. Broadway’s galleries, eateries and horse chestnut trees (20 minutes) are just as splendid. Then, there’s Bourton-on-the-Water (35 minutes) too, where there are traditional stone houses, as well as a motoring museum and a model village. Perhaps it’s the bigger destinations that you’re keen to visit. If so, Warwick (half an hour), Cheltenham (45 minutes) and Worcester (45 minutes) are some of your options. Along with Cheltenham, Hereford Racecourse (an hour and 25 minutes) hosts racing events for lively days at the races.
