Situation Swallows is situated in a wonderful setting overlooking the green in this most sought after village. Convenient for Oxford, which is some 6 miles away, it is a “history book” village, centred around the 24 acre gated village green. Central within the green is the cricket ground and pavilion. Local amenities include the community owned public house, “The Seven Stars”, which has a good reputation for food and hospitality. There is also the primary school and parish church.

The village is also well placed for many well-regarded schools including the well known ones in Oxford and Abingdon.
