Food scene
No trip would be complete without a visit to the Burford Garden Company, especially if raining! Kids will love the playground and kid's cafe and adults will enjoy the incredible shopping experience even if just browsing. There is a good cafe and also a farm shop for food supplies.

The most famous organic farm shop in the region- not only is the shop incredible but there is also a very good cafe /restaurant. Not cheap but delicious!

The best and most local pub for food and atmosphere. Pefect for a romantic or cosy meal. They don't allow kids in the bar after 5pm and only well behaved older children in the restaurant as they don't have much space and don't provide high chairs or allow prams. Better therefore for adults and children aged 7+.

Better therefore for adults and children aged 7+.
Our top pick for families as it has plenty of space for kids to run around inside and also a good garden. The food is not as good as the Hare but it ticks most boxes and you can just about walk back if you need to!

Kids Activities
Only ten minutes' drive away just beyond Burford, a wonderful day out for all ages. Tip: although there is a cafe it gets very busy in peak season so if you visit in the summer better to bring a picnic- there are lots of picnic spots.

Another great day out for kids. Get there early. They'll love learning how to milk cows and handling lots of small animals and feeding the lambs in season! A great place to take a picnic too although there is a cafe.

Our kids' favourite day out if it's raining. Check the minimum age/height though first and best to book ahead. It's a 45 minute drive away.

Stow-on-the-Wold
A nice town to visit, only 15 minutes away. Good pubs too.
Perfect day out for families- there are lots of museums, and there is a lovely walk into town from the car park along the river where there are ducks to feed. In the summer children love paddling. Birdland and the model train shop are popular!

Oxford is only 30 minutes' drive away or even better a 15 minute train journey from Kingham or Charlbury or sometimes even our next village of Shipton under Wychwood (check times as less frequent). If driving use the park and ride. Kids love visiting the Natural History Museum. In the summer have a go at punting!

A lovely riverside setting for a picnic and paddle in the river, or visit the ruins by the church followed by lunch in the pub. A perfect English village without the crowds of Burford.
