"William 'Strata' Smith was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire on 23 March 1769. He died in Northamptonshire on 28 August 1839.  Smith was an English geologist, credited with creating the first detailed, nationwide geological map of any country. At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community; his relatively humble education and family connections prevented him from mixing easily in learned society. Financially ruined, Smith spent time in debtors' prison. It was only late in his life that Smith received recognition for his accomplishments, and became known as the "Father of English Geology" Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Smith_(geologist) Further info can be found here; https://www.churchillheritage.org.uk/famous-sons/william-smith

Nice village below famous and famously busy Diddly Squat.

The title of the highlight says it all. Decent road surface too.

Didn't stop at the cafe, but the town and church are definitely worth a visit.

A must-stop for all 'Clarkson's Farm' fans. Small farm shop, just like seen on TV. Very busy with tourists, expect to get in line to enter the store. Watch out for the (many) cars, drivers are not always paying attention to cyclists when entering and exiting the car park. Watch out.

Farm shop and cafe from the Amazon Prime TV programme Clarksons Farm.

The Charlbury Deli is the best place to stock up on snacks or grab a coffee before your run. They also serve great breakfasts from 8:30 to 2:30.
