Local Information
Foscot is a small hamlet nestling next to the stunning village of Bledington, itself in the broad valley of the River Evenlode, all very close to the famous Cotswold town of Stow on the Wold. Foscot and Bledington lies on the Oxfordshire Way walk (it actually runs through Foxcote Farm (within the same ownership). This walk will take you up on to the wolds via Wyck Beacon and down to Bourton-on-the-Water, or south-eastwards down the valley to Bruern Abbey and onto Shipston-under-Wychwood. Either way it is a delightful walk.
For those thnking 'food' the excellent 'Kings Head' pub is in Bledington and about 10 mins walk away. We can say it is excellent, it serves local ales and great food. There are others to choose from incl those in Kingham and Churchill, but this is good enough!
Regency Cheltenham and the magnificent university town of Oxford are also within an easy drive while many local attractions are very nearby.
