Kingham is a village and civil parish in the Cotswolds about 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
[7] Building of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OW&W) along the Evenlode Valley began in 1845 and was completed in 1853.
Kingham railway station is served by Cotswold Line trains between London Paddington, Oxford, Worcester and Hereford.
Buses ran peak hours only, Monday to Friday, to and from Chipping Norton via Churchill.
Pulham's Coaches operated the route for Oxfordshire County Council until its withdrawal on 1 April 2022.
[8] The village has two gastropubs: The Plough,[9] beside the older village green, operates under Matt and Katie Beamish and offers contemporary British food; and The Wild Rabbit (formerly The Tollgate) which is now part of Lady Carole Bamford's Daylesford Organic organisation.
[citation needed] In 2004 a Country Life panel judged Kingham to be "England's Favourite Village".
