Junctions 9 & 10 of the M40 are readily accessible along with junction 15 of the M1. The busy market town of Bicester lies a few miles south with the world-renowned Bicester Village. Closer still is Bicester Heritage, a new and exciting destination planned to be an international centre of excellence for automobiles, past present and future. The town has two mainline railway stations in easy reach of Oxford Parkway and London (Marylebone 45 mins) making it popular with commuters. Within 15 miles radius is the University City of Oxford, the ancient town of Woodstock with adjacent Blenheim Palace, Waddesdon Manor, Natural Trust Stowe and Silverstone motor racing circuit. Great schools include, Beachborough, Winchester House, Akeley Wood, Headington, Magdalen, St Edwards etc. For a gentler way of life there is a network of footpaths with great walks, excellent hacking and popular cycle routes along with regular bus services (bus-stop is opposite).
