The former Top Gear and Grand Tour host has made the Cotswolds his home since buying a 1,000‑acre farm on the edge of Chipping Norton in 2008.

He now lives on the estate with his partner Lisa Hogan, and has documented his often chaotic attempts to run the land in the hit Prime Video series Clarkson’s Farm.

The show follows life at Diddly Squat Farm, from crop failures and livestock dramas to the battle to open his now‑famous farm shop, which has turned the site into a tourist magnet.

In 2024, Mr Clarkson expanded his Cotswolds ventures by taking on a pub near Burford, which opened as The Farmer’s Dog in the summer of that year

The inn, a short drive from Diddly Squat, serves Hawkstone beer and food made with produce from the farm and has quickly become a destination in its own right for fans visiting the area.

This afternoon (Friday, April 24), Mr Clarkson has taken to the social media platform Instagram to share that a Supermarine Spitfire has been flying over his house in the Cotswolds.

Posting a graphic of the plane’s flight path, the 66-year-old said: “You, my friend, are welcome to fly over my house any time you like.”

Fans were quick to respond with the post amassing over 30,000 likes in just an hour, as one person comedically responded: “But if it is James May, you will take him out!”

Another added: “Jeremy got that private air show going on.”

A third remarked: “This is the Grace Spitfire, which featured in Top Gear, when Clarkson, Hammond, and May arrived to defeat the German top gear presenters in style!”

Mr Clarkson will return to screens with Clarkson’s Farm series five this summer, which is set to release its first episodes via Prime Video on Wednesday, April 24.

The council has approved the decision to extend the existing 20mph speed limit on Old Road in Forest Hill.

Part of the road, which was previously 60mph, was approved to change into a 20mph zone as part of the countywide 20mph speed limit project

The council has also approved the decision to introduce a 20mph speed limit in Brightwell Baldwin as part of the Vision Zero project.

The Vision Zero project is in aid of the elimination of deaths and serious injuries from road traffic collisions in Oxfordshire, and communities are able to request the introduction of 20mph areas.

In February 2022, Cabinet approved funding of up to £8,000,000 to deliver 20mph, meaning implementing schemes comes at no cost to town or parish councils.

The council also approved the extension of the existing 20mph speed limit on the south of Green Lane in Chesterton as part of the Vision Zero project.

This comes after Oxfordshire County Council revealed that 2024 saw an 11% increase in fatal and serious road casualties in comparison to 2023.
