Gemma was a great host, explaining how the vineyard started and the different varieties and vintages of wines produced from this little slice of the Cotswolds. Wine tasting was fun and we enjoyed walking around the fields learning about growing grapes in the Uk. They were kind enough to let us bring our dogs along. There is also a lunch option with a range of local produce on offer which went down a treat after all the drinking.

Although there was a Norman church on this site from the 12th century, the present structure has evolved since the middle of the 13th century. There is a wealth of history to be found here, including a unique pair of Altar hanging Frontals (c.1500) which were copied at the request of Queen Mary for the High Altar of Westminster Abbey for George V's coronation ceremony in 1912. There is also possibly the earliest surviving example of a Cope, which dates from around 1400. The original stained glass windows from the 15th century have almost all been replaced, with only small fragments remaining. The Jacobean pulpit and Flemish lectern were gifts from Sir Baptist Hicks, whose ornate tomb is in the Gainsborough Chapel. This is a magnificent church, well worth visiting.

Enjoyed our booked visit to Hidcote Manor,greeted with a warm welcome from N-Trust member at car park entrance with guidance information to enable us to enjoy our visit. There was well marked single pathways around the stunning Arts and Craft garden with hidden gems around every corner, due to social distancing some of pathways closed off but N-T had cleverly formed viewing points to show hidden secrets. There are 2 narrow marked pathways you can take 1 of which includes steps. Due to the lockdown some of the areas of the garden are over grown but this adds to the enjoyment,there are some unusual plants full of colour which includes wild life meadow. The Barn Cafe is now serving take away food and the onsite shop is now open with garden plants for sale. Hidcote is well worth a visit just take your time with social distancing (you are allowed 2 hours) and enjoy the splendour of the garden and at the end of your visit enjoy a picnic in the lovely Cotswold countryside next to the car park.

We were in CC for a week, and dropped by the CC Visitor Information Center to find that it was chock-full of excellent ideas for local walks, and carried detailed maps. The ladies who were on that day were warm and friendly, and told us about the RAF concert that would be on at the church on Friday night. We bought tickets and had the most wonderful evening listening to The Blockley Blokes Male Voice Choir and The Shipston Town Band. Excellent musicians all round! Thank you to Chipping Campden for having such an extensive collection of information for your visitors!

This has been the 'must see' 'building in Chipping Campden since the day it was built. It has not suffered like some ancient buildings by been touched up. If you stand inside and close your eyes you can imagine the sheep having been brought down from the Cotswold hills to be sold here. It'll still stand when modern buildings will have fallen down.
