Run through the quintessential English village of Chacombe, situated on the border between Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire. The village features a wealth of picturesque thatched cottages as well as pubs and a beautiful church.

Chacombe is a pretty Northamptonshire village with many characterful old buildings, including its 14th-century parish church and Chacombe Priory. Walkers can seek refreshment at the traditional George and Dragon pub, which also serves good food. The Jurassic Way long-distance footpath passes through the village.

The earliest part of the Church of England parish church of Saints Peter and Paul is the Norman font. The current building is essentially Decorated Gothic from the early part of the 14th century, including the three-bay arcades either side of the nave. The north aisle has a 14th-century wall painting of Saint Peter being crucified upside-down. It is one of only two wall paintings of Saint Peter's crucifixion known in England, the other being in the parish church at Ickleton in Cambridgeshire. The church is a Grade I listed building. The bell tower has a ring of six bells. William Bagley of Chacombe cast four of them including the treble bell in 1694. John Briant of Hertford cast the present fifth bell in 1790; the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the present tenor bell in 2009. The parish is a member of the Chenderit Benefice, which also covers the parishes of Greatworth, Marston St. Lawrence, Middleton Cheney, Thenford and Warkworth.
