Getting to Chedworth
The railway line that once cut through the village was closed in the 1960s. This is probably the only sensible way to get here, parking could be a problem though. To get here you'll generally want to get onto the A429 (the Fosseway). The turn off for the village is in a dip and is just a small country lane. The bus service (once a week to the village!

Things to do
Go for walks to the Roman Villa! But be aware that it's overpriced for what it is (£13.20 with gift aid) while there are just a few mosaics to see, however, some of these are very fine and important to the study of 4th-century Britain.
