Our charming, historic village sits at the confluence of the rivers Thame and Thames, just 9 miles south of Oxford. As well as being a marvellous place to live, it is also the ideal centre for exploring some of England's finest countryside, loveliest villages, stateliest of homes and oldest seats of learning.
