Location

Situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds between Oxford and Cirencester, Bampton is sometimes described as a town because it was an important market town until the 19th century. Today, it is designated a village which boasts an Italianate Victorian Town Hall with art gallery and a village hall.

With an active community hosting a wide range of clubs and events, amenities include a Co-op supermarket, butcher and deli, three pubs (including the newly opened Market Tavern), two coffee shops, a hair dresser and a Post Office. There is also a primary school, nursery, doctors surgery with pharmacy, a public library, beauty salon and garden centre with cafe. More extensive facilities are in Carterton (Aldi, petrol station) Witney (Sainsbury's, Lidl and Waitrose), Oxford and Faringdon (Waitrose). Nearby Clanfield has fantastic pubs such as the desirable Double Red Duke, the Mason's Arms, and Blake's coffee shop.

The area offers an excellent range of both state and private schools, including St. Hugh's school and Cokethorpe school.

Also, renowned as the historic home of Morris dancing, more recently it has featured as the fictional village of Downtown in the television series Downton Abbey.
