* * * * 7 miles from Wantage and 5 miles from Faringdon, Uffington is fortunate in being off the main roads, so you can enjoy the tranquillity of the nearby countryside. The village is on the Oxford Cycleway.
The Post Office Stores, open 7 days a week, is situated nearby.
The beautiful 13th century parish church of St.Mary is sometimes known as The Cathedral of the Vale. John Betjeman the former Poet Laureate was once a Churchwarden here.
Tom Brown's Museum, open at weekends in summer, is to be found in the former school house, which is featured in Thomas Hughes' Tom Brown's Schooldays. |
Uffington lies 1¾ miles north of The Ridgeway, possibly England's oldest road, passing close to White Horse Hill, with its intriguing chalk hill figure, carved 3000 years ago. |
- Dragon Hill, situated below the White Horse is the site where, legend has it, St.George slew the dragon.
- Wayland's Smithy, an impressive long barrow, is another nearby antiquity 1 mile westwards along the Ridgeway from White Horse Hill.
- The Cotswolds and the cities of Oxford and Bath are all within easy reach on a day trip.
- Lechlade and the upper reaches of the River Thames with its long-distance footpath and opportunities for boat trips are a short distance away.
