CHIPPING NORTON
THE COTSWOLDS, ENGLAND
IMAGE NUMBER 1177
Chipping Norton is the highest town in Oxfordshire, situated on the western slopes of a The 'wool' church of St Mary at Chipping Nortonhillside that was once the site of a Norman castle. The lively little town has a vibrancy about it, but remains unpretentious and the everyday lives of those who live and work there have so far not been overshadowed by the effects of tourism - in other words its a 'real' Cotswold town with 'real' shops and fondly known as 'Chippy' to the locals. Chipping Norton has a number of immaculately maintained thatched cottages with a significant presence.
