Herringcote

Dorchester-on-Thames | Oxfordshire

A cosy plot near Dorchester Abbey

Herringcote has a quiet charm which is perfectly complemented by the quaint character of Dorchester itself, a vibrant community beneath the charming exterior. A collection of two-bedroom cottages and apartments line a lovely courtyard garden, thoughtfully landscaped with trees and herbaceous borders and a traditional brick built dovecote; and a walk of just a few minutes takes you into the heart of the village with its wonderful tearooms, shops and amenities.

The famous Norman abbey, at the confluence of the Thames and the Thame, remains at the heart of the village and is the focus for much of the busy calendar of cultural and social events which include the Dorchester on Thames festival, a celebration of music, art and culture; the flower show and the increasingly popular scarecrow trail. The historic high street is largely unchanged, and a popular choice of filming location. There are lovely walks along the Thames Path, and the meadow alongside the Thame has been purchased in perpetuity for the village – an unspoilt idyll.
