Ascott-under-Wychwood is a beautiful and historic village in the Evenlode Valley. On the village green stands a chestnut tree and a bench in memorial to the 16 local women, known as the Ascott Martyrs. In 1873 they campaigned for better wages and conditions for agricultural workers, eventually sparking a riot in Chipping Norton and receiving a pardon from Queen Victoria. Ascott's 16th-century manor house stands within the bailey of the ancient castle Ascott d’Oyley. Some original medieval features remain, such as the mullioned windows.

Known for its glorious houses that date back to the 13th and 14th centuries, Shipton-under-Wychwood is a beautiful village. The characterful Shipton Court, built in 1603 by the Lacy family, is one of the grandest early Jacobean houses in Britain. The village has three historic inns. The Shaven Crown, the Wychwood and the Lamb Inn have been welcoming travellers for centuries. The Shaven Crown in particular has been providing shelter and rest for 500 years and was once a guest house of the nearby Bruern Abbey.

Bruern is a hamlet on the River Evenlode on land that would have once been covered by the great, ancient forest of Wychwood. It was home to a Cistercian Abbey between 1147 and 1536. In 1720 a fine, baroque country house was built on the site of the former abbey. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby. Foxholes Nature Reserve has an excellent wildlife trail, whilst the D'Arcy Dalton Way and Oxfordshire Way both pass through the area.

Best lemon drizzle I've had.
