Where we are and how to find us.
Churchill
Churchill is a small Cotswolds village in the North West corner of Oxfordshire two miles from the Gloucestershire border. Situated on the Eastern side of The Cotswolds it is well positioned for visitors from the London area.
Located midway between Warwick Castle and the College city of Oxford means that world class attractions like Shakespeare's home, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Winston Churchill’s birthplace, Blenheim Palace, are within easy reach. The beautiful Cotswolds countryside surrounds Churchill and The Forge is bordered by the village green in the heart of the village. Situated on the B4450 it is easily found and the village Church is a good landmark, it can be seen from miles around and as can be seen in the picture above, is almost adjacent to The Forge.
