ABOUT THIS AREA
Long Wittenham is one of South Oxfordshire’s most highly regarded and sought after villages. An attractive village with many period and thatched properties, there is a real sense of community. This is very much a village which retains the best qualities of traditional village life. Perched on the banks of the River Thames, the Plough pub is within walking, or boating distance from The Manor and there is also an excellent Indian restaurant, The Vine & Spice located on the High Street.

Oxford itself is less than 10 miles away. Bordered by the rolling Chilterns on one side and the magnificent Berkshire Downs on the other, the surrounding countryside is idyllic with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors, with the highlight being the neighbouring Wittenham Clumps.
