Local churches at every level

The main feature of Churchdown, visible for miles around, is Churchdown Hill (also known as locally Chosen Hill). From the top there are fabulous views across the county and beyond toward the Malverns and Wales. If you can make it up the hill you'll find the ancient church of St Bartholomew's, and a fabulous viewpoint to see the whole of the county stretching out before you, however the churches of St Andrew's and St John's are more easily located in the centre of the village.

Outdoor activities, sport and leisure

The village of Churchdown sits between the architectural beauty of Cheltenham and the majestic history of Gloucester but is also surrounded by beautiful countryside. If you are interested in sport and leisure then you can cheer on Gloucester Rugby at Kingsholm or follow the racing at Cheltenham racecourse. However, if you prefer to take part rather than watch from the sidelines, nearby Brickhampton Courts offers two golf courses plus a driving range, there is a Nuffield Health and Fitness centre just down the road, as well as Oxstalls Sports Centre plus the new Padel Club at Gloucester Quays amongst your many options.

Alternatively, head west towards the historic Forest of Dean and explore ancient woodland, rich history and diverse activities such as hiking, cycling and wildlife viewing or else stay a bit closer to home and visit nearby Crickley Hill Country Park to enjoy walks, wildlife and panoramic views across the county.

Shops and facilities

There are good local shops and services including a large Tesco, Co-op food store, doctor's surgery, veterinary surgery, library, several cafes, pubs and takeaways as well as a 24-hour petrol station. However, larger supermarkets and home and garden stores can be found not too far away at Barnwood, Brockworth and St Oswolds retail Park in Gloucester - plus it's also less than 5 miles to the popular Gloucester Quays. This thriving leisure quarter, set in a stunning waterside location, features an outlet shopping centre, a variety of bars and restaurants plus a multi-screen cinema.

Education options
