A sought after and historic location that has been valued since the Doomsday Book when it was held by Walter Gifard, a preeminent Norman baron who helped William the Conqueror win the Battle of Hastings, West Hanney retains its significance today. Situated off the main Oxford to Wantage road in the Vale of the White Horse, Wantage is five miles to the south and there are excellent train and road links. Didcot Parkway provides an hourly, non-stop commuter service to London Paddington and the M4, M40 and A34 are all within easy reach.
