Situation

The village of Northmoor is an attractive, vibrant and rural parish lying between the rivers Thames and Windrush. Northmoor has a 13th century parish church dedicated to St Denys, a village hall which doubles as a community meeting place and Christmas pantomime venue, and The Ferryman Inn at nearby Bablock Hythe. The village is set amongst fields, mostly given to raising cattle and sheep, in a part of the Upper Thames valley which has been designated an Environmentally Sensitive Conservation Area. Walkers and cyclists have many bridleways and footpaths. The village is on the Oxfordshire cycle path and public footpaths connect with the Thames Path (a 15-minute walk away) and Northmoor Lock. The nearby villages of Standlake and Stanton Harcourt provide local amenities including general store, pubs, primary school. Further afield Oxford, Abingdon and Witney provide more extensive leisure, retail and cultural facilities. Mainline railway services to London Paddington can be taken from Didcot Parkway or nearby Hanborough or to London Marylebone from Oxford Parkway. The nearest motorway/main road connections can be made via the M40 Junction 8A or 9 via the A34, Oxford ring road. There is an unrivalled selection of independent schools for girls and boys at all levels in the area including The Dragon School, Summerfields, Radley, St. Edward's, Abingdon, Chandlings Manor, Cokethorpe (very local), Oxford High, Cothill, St. Helens and St. Katherine's, Headington and St. Hughes to name a few. Leisure activities in the area include golf at nearby Frilford Heath and sailing at Farmoor.
