Journey into the heart of rural Oxfordshire and you'll find this ancient village, offering a peaceful glimpse into traditional English life.

Its most prominent feature is St Peter's Church, a magnificent Norman structure with a striking stone spire that stands tall against the sky. The church itself is a testament to centuries of worship and architecture, dating back to at least the 12th century, though the settlement here has much older roots in Anglo-Saxon times and was recorded in the Domesday Book.

Visitors can spend time exploring the church's interior and admiring its historical details, which tell stories of its long past. Beyond the church, the village invites gentle strolls along its quiet lanes and around the village green, offering views of the surrounding countryside, shaped by the nearby River Evenlode. For a refreshment, The Chequers Inn provides a genuine village pub experience. This is a place for those who appreciate history, architecture, and a slower pace.

You'll find it conveniently located for visits to nearby Worton, Swinford, and Eynsham, while Yarnton, Wytham, and Church Hanborough are also close by, making it a good spot for exploring this lovely part of Oxfordshire.
