Chipping Norton, or "Chippy" as locals call it, is a charming Cotswold town brimming with history and culture. Once wealthy from the wool trade, the town’s legacy is showcased at the iconic Bliss Mill, a striking building with a unique domed chimney. Visitors can explore its historic landmarks, such as the Town Hall, alms houses and St Mary the Virgin Church, which features beautiful stained-glass windows.
The town also hosts a variety of festivals, including the renowned Chipping Norton Literary Festival, held in the mediaeval market square. Here, you’ll also find the Chipping Norton Theatre, a vibrant venue offering performances year-round.
Beyond the town, the Oxfordshire countryside awaits with scenic walks, including the route to the Rollright Stones, a prehistoric monument with a rich history. Whether you’re interested in history, culture or outdoor adventures, Chipping Norton offers a delightful experience for every visitor.
