Hiking
Ditchley Park is one of the finest houses in the country and for centuries has been used as a tranquil retreat for the nobility. A medieval village once stood here, providing access to the Royal Wychwood Forest. No trace remains. The current house was built here in 1722.
Churchill used the house as a retreat during the Second World War, as it was difficult for the German bombers to spot it from the air. A bust depicting his head now stands in a prominent position in front of the house.
