train to Chipping Campden
 
We are going from London to Chipping Campden, can some tell me what train company runs that line.

Great Western run from Paddington to Moreton in Marsh and Honeybourne, and Chipping Camden lies between the two, but I am afraid has no station. You could take the train to Moreton in Marsh, and carry on by taxi.

Welcome to England

As Ben says - there is no train service to Chipping Campden. CC is about 6 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh and a little farther from Honeybourne. So a taxi would be the best way to get there (there is a bus service but it is infrequent).

But once you are in Chipping Campden, how did you plan on getting around? It will be difficult w/o a car - so you might consider taking the train to Oxford or Moreton and renting a car from there.

There are buses from Moreton-on-Marsh to Chipping Cam and the wait is not very long. It is a rollicking ride through some lovely countryside. Once you get there, there is lots to see as walkers. Easy buses back to Moreton on Marsh. Bus fare was inexpensive.
Go on a Tuesday so you can enjoy the outdoor market at M on M, then hop the bus to CC.

Great info, RosieM. I for one would like to hear more about using buses as transportation in the Cotswolds and Wiltshire. Are there good bus-dedicated websites? (I've already copied and filed wonderful information for the south from Mr. Haines and another gentleman whose name I can't recall at the moment.) Thanks , J.
