Step through the cottage gate and Churchill soon gives way to hedgerows, old stone walls and rolling fields. The village pub is close enough for an easy stroll home, making walking and lunch a rather perfect pairing.
Three ways to lose track of time
A village wander
Follow the lane towards the green, admire All Saints Church and drift along the quieter edges of Churchill beneath wide Cotswold skies.
Across the fields
Let the footpaths lead you beyond the village, over stiles and through a landscape of soft hills, hedgerows and far-reaching views.
Walk, then feast
Return rosy-cheeked to The Chequers for something seasonal, a glass by the fire and the easiest stroll home.
Ancient stones beneath an open sky
Further afield, the Rollright Stones rise from the landscape like something from a folktale. The neighbouring paths and the D’Arcy Dalton Way make this a wonderfully atmospheric corner of the Cotswolds to explore.
The golden hour, then supper
There is a particular pleasure in returning as the light turns honey-coloured: boots by the door, a hot bath waiting and the evening still ahead. Stay in with a bottle and supper around the dining table, or settle into a country pub while the windows glow against the dusk.
