North Newington

It's a place where golden-hued stone buildings line quiet lanes, offering a peaceful escape from busier spots.

Your visit might start with a gentle stroll through the village, taking in the cohesive architecture. A central point of interest is the parish church, St Peter ad Vincula. This historic building boasts origins dating back to the 12th century, with significant remodelling in the 13th and 14th centuries, showcasing centuries of local heritage. It’s a quiet testament to the village's long past, having grown from its agricultural roots to the community it is today. For a taste of local life, the village pub, The White Horse, offers a friendly spot to relax and perhaps enjoy a drink.

Beyond the village, the surrounding countryside is perfect for easy walks, connecting you with the rolling Oxfordshire landscape. It’s well-situated for further exploration, being just a short distance from the market town of Banbury, which offers more amenities and transport links. Other nearby spots include the attractive villages of Broughton, Wroxton, Lower Tadmarton, Tadmarton, and Shutford, making it an excellent base for discovering this corner of the Cotswolds.
