"The Most Beautiful Village in England" Difficult to dispute this. Only a 15/20 minute drive from The Wilde. Try and avoid it at weekends (many tourists) and best to visit early morning or late evening.

A visit to The Ox Barn restaurant is essential for special occasions. It may be a bit on the pricey side, but this is a favourite haunt of mine. Relax with a per dinner cocktail in the sumptuous lounge area, and then revel in the scrumptious food served in the restaurant. For those who wish to have a more informal lunch or supper they also run the popular Swan Inn pub, which is only a couple of mins walk from The Ox Barn. Booking essential.
