Little Buckland

The parish takes in several smaller settlements and hamlets, each with their own character, making it ideal for a leisurely walk through authentic Oxfordshire landscape. With around 588 residents, it's small enough to feel genuinely rural while remaining easily accessible from nearby towns. Whether you're exploring on foot or cycling through the vale, you'll discover the unhurried pace and natural beauty that characterises this corner of the Cotswolds. It's the kind of place where you can spend an afternoon wandering between settlements without encountering much more than rolling fields and the occasional passing walker, which is exactly the point. The Vale of White Horse provides a gentle backdrop for both casual strolls and longer rambles, and the accessibility to Faringdon means you're never far from a proper meal or supplies if you need them.
