You'll discover Tollhouse Gifts & Gallery in Little Faringdon, housed in a building that genuinely deserves a closer look.
What now serves as a gallery and shop was originally a toll house, where travellers historically stopped to pay for passage along the roads. That authentic past gives the place a real sense of character that you can feel as soon as you walk in.
The space showcases work from local and regional craftspeople, with original paintings and prints, handmade pottery, jewellery, and various contemporary pieces on display. The quality is genuinely good, and the experience of browsing here feels quite different from a typical high street shop. There's a calm, unhurried atmosphere where you can actually engage with the work and the makers behind it. Whether you're looking for a proper souvenir or something distinctive you'll actually treasure, you'll find worthwhile options.
The location sits handily between Faringdon, the main market town in the area, and other villages like Lechlade and Burford, making it a natural stopping point if you're moving through the region. It's the kind of place that rewards slowing down for a while—part of what makes it work is that the building itself carries real history, and that extends to everything happening inside it now.
