“We love the location with woodland walks and nature on our doorstep yet within a few minutes of Abingdon and 20 minutes to Oxford… …We have great neighbours and a great village community which you can be involved with as much or as little as you like. There's also a gastro pub across the road which is great when you don't want to cook… …We have enjoyed watching pole cats, stoat kits playing in the garden, hedgehogs, fox cubs, deer and bunnies in the woodland. Along with a list of birds such as owls, sparrowhawks, buzzards, kites, woodpeckers to name a small few.”Council Tax Band F | Vale of White Horse District Council
