The building of a bypass, which opened in December 1988, moved the main route away from the village.[5][6] Black Horse Ridge is a 17th-century building that until 1900 was a public house.[7] A lodge adjacent to Black Horse Ridge was designed by Richard Pace and built in 1822.[7] Birdlip's remaining pub is The Royal George Hotel, which was built in the 19th century.[7] Birdlip House is a Georgian house built late in the 18th century.[7] The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary burned down in 1897, and was replaced in 1957 by a new church designed by the architect Harold Stratton-Davis.[7] AmenitiesBirdlip has a community primary school. Birdlip is on the Cotswold Way, a National Trail running along the edge of The Cotswolds AONB. The view from Barrow Wake viewpoint in the village takes in much of the Vale of Gloucester.[8] Located next to the primary school is Birdlip and Brimpsfield Cricket Club (BBCC). The club has three senior teams, playing on Wednesdays and Saturdays. BBCC is famous for once fielding a team made entirely of members of the Partridge family. Birdlip had an infamous "Dogging Area" at the Barrow Wake viewpoint.[9] Sources
