Lifestyle
The beauty of village life
Churchdown makes a strong claim to be one of England's biggest villages. It certainly has the strong sense of community that characterises a village, and a semi rural setting which distinguishes it from its larger neighbours, the cities of Cheltenham and Gloucester. Churchdown is unusual in that it has two centres, one focused on St Andrew's Church, and the other on St John's. Each neighbourhood has its own shops, pub, and range of restaurants. Parents have six village schools to choose from in Churchdown: two infants, two junior and two secondary.

Just outside the village is Brickhampton Court, a golf and spa complex with some of the country's finest playing facilities, and a spectacular setting within 200 acres of Gloucestershire countryside.

The local beauty spot is Churchdown Hill, an area of rich woodland now managed by the Woodland Trust. Overlooked by the historic St Bartholomew's Church, it offers views of the Cotswolds, Malvern, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and even Wales.

Churchdown's neighbouring cities
The cities of Cheltenham or Gloucester are both within easy reach of Churchdown.

Cheltenham, reputed to be the most complete Regency town in England, was designed for pleasure and leisure, and this remains true today. Elegant arcades and shopping streets such as The Promenade offer a tempting range of designer fashion, jewellery, art and gifts. The city has a cosmopolitan choice of restaurants, including Le Champignon Sauvage, which has been awarded two Michelin stars. In addition it has no fewer than three theatres, exciting nightlife, a cinema, and of course the famous Racecourse, drawing both serious race goers and a glamorous society crowd. Originally a spa town, modern Cheltenham still has places where you can enjoy a day of intensive pampering from time to time, such as the beautiful Chapel Spa, set in an old church.

The riverside city of Gloucester is distinguished by its historic docks, which are currently undergoing a major transformation into a new leisure destination. In contrast, Gloucester Cathedral offers a different historical perspective, having presided majestically over the city for 1300 years. Modern Gloucester's amenities include the Guildhall, a premier arts venue, the National Waterways Museum, the GL1 Leisure Centre, and shopping at The Mall Eastgate, Kings Walk, and in the permanent covered market.
