ABOUT THIS AREA

S

ires Hill is a close-knit community nestled in an Area of Designated Outstanding Natural Beauty between the villages of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and North Moreton. The surrounding landscape

promises a beautiful and seductive escape with much for the outdoor enthusiast. The nature reserve of the imposing Wittenham Clumps overlooks the area, and there are marvellous local walks and cycle rides that include the Clumps, nearby Long Wittenham and the Thames footpath.

Didcot is the closest town and importantly provides the fast rail link to London, with trains taking as little as 37 minutes to reach London Paddington.

Wallingford is also close by. With its large open market square and famous castle ruins, this bustling market town is suffused in history. Wallingford is home to a sparkling array of dining options and a thriving café culture. If that wasn’t enough, Wallingford’s outstanding schools, great leisure facilities and abundant footpaths, mean the town is fast becoming South Oxfordshire’s most sought after small town.

With both Oxford and Reading within striking distance, Sires Hill is also well positioned for both the M4 and M40.
