There are plenty of things to do and places to see all year round when you choose The Dog House. National Trust properties Great Coxwell Barn and White Horse Hill are nearby, while North Hinksey Conduit House, North Leigh Roman Villa, and Abingdon County Hall Museum, all run by English Heritage, are also firm local favourites. The grandeur of Winston Churchill’s birthplace, Blenhiem Palace, is just 20 minutes away. Then there are the historic, dreaming spires and eclectic shops of Oxford, the beautiful woodland and wetlands of Raddley Lakes and Thrupp Lake Trail, and long country walks at Little Wittenham Nature Reserve.
