Mount Skippett

It's the sort of place that benefits from a slow explore on foot, with the genuine character you'd expect from a West Oxfordshire countryside settlement. You'll get a real sense of rural Cotswolds life here, removed from the activity of the larger market towns but near enough to Witney that you can easily reach shops and services when you need them. The landscape around the hamlet rewards wandering, and there's something restorative about spending time in a community this small and settled. If you're looking to experience the quieter side of the Cotswolds without going too far off the beaten path, this is exactly the kind of village that delivers that experience.
