All of the village falls within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Peasemore’s amenities include a village hall (which hosts a number of local events), The Fox public house and St Barnabas Church. The village is also the family home of the former Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Peasemore is situated close to the border with Oxfordshire, and the city of Oxford is located 23 miles north via the A34. It is a short distance away from the A34 trunk road which links Oxford to Winchester, and the M4 motorway which provides fast road connections to London.
