Location
The village of Windrush lies on the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border between Burford and Northleach with wonderful rural views across land owned by the National Trust and Barrington Park. The village lies in the beautiful Windrush Valley within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a lively community and Village Hall which hosts local events. The Windrush Valley Summer Fete is a highlight of the village calendar.
The surrounding countryside is particularly pretty and unspoiled with many excellent footpaths for long walks. Nearby Sherborne offers an award-winning village shop, tea-room and a primary school. Northleach and Burford provide everyday shopping and banking amenities whilst the larger centres of Cheltenham and Oxford provide more extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities. The A40 provides access to London, Oxford and Cheltenham and there is a mainline station at Charlbury with regular services to London Paddington.
There is excellent secondary schooling in Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford while the private sector offers various schools including Hatherop Castle, the Cheltenham Schools and Kingham Hill. Sporting and recreational facilities are well catered for in the area with golf courses at Naunton Downs, Burford and Cheltenham. National Hunt Racing is at Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Worcester.
The Cotswolds’ year is packed with events ranging from world famous international festivals like Cheltenham Literature Festival and Cheltenham Gold Cup Week to major musical events such as the Wilderness Festival or the Big Feastival, as well as a jam-packed events calendar featuring concerts, exhibitions, arts and literature festivals and theatrical productions.
