Local Information
The village of Bledington is located in the valley of the River Evenload, close to the famous Cotswold towns of Stow-on-the- Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford. It lies on the Oxfordshire Way walk which is a super trail which takes you up on the wolds (hills) via Wyck Beacon and then down to Bourton-on-the-Water. The village is very attractive (one of the most sort after in property terms) and has the quintessential village green coupled with an excellent pub: The Kings Head, which serves real ale as well as superb food.
Stow on the Wold is the most local town and this has all the necessary shops, including supermarket, cafes, antique shops (etc) plus many pubs and restaurants. Regency Cheltenham and the magnificent university town of Oxford are also within striking distance (about 40 mins drive), although it is possible to catch the train from Kingham station, the next village, which will take you into Oxford in 20 mins or London in 1 hr 35mins.
All round a gorgeous location.
