Market towns such as Moreton in Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, Witney and a host of villages with fascinating names such as Upper and Lower Slaughter, The Wychwoods and The Rissingtons, Great, Little, Wyck and now Upper. Not all villages are as well known and today some still hold their secrets, many with unassuming country pubs serving locally brewed beer and good food. On the edge of the Cotswolds is Woodstock, which existed before the Norman Conquest, but is better known today for Blenheim Palace home of the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill who is buried nearby at Bladon Church.
