Country cottages and self-catering holiday accommodation near Appleford, Oxfordshire

Appleford is a small village set amidst rolling English countryside, to the south of Oxford between Abingdon and Didcot. Just to the west, lying between the Ridgeway and the River Thames, the Vale of White Horse stretches from the edge of Oxford to the threshold of the Cotswolds. Its enchanting landscape is marked by a mysterious pagan past - the very name comes from the oldest chalk figure in Britain dating back to around 1000 BC. The Vale makes an ideal base for exploring Oxfordshire and the countryside provides great opportunities for walking, cycling and horseriding. The River Thames flows gently by to the north of the village and is perfect for boating and fishing.

The wider county of Oxfordshire has a lot to offer the holiday maker with many historical attractions such as the magnificent Blenheim palace, or for the nature lover the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, award winning pubs and restaurants for fine dining, all set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, whose rolling hills and secluded river valleys are perfect for family walks and cycle rides. If you're looking for a cultural getaway or a romantic city break then Oxford is a must. Renowned for its history and heritage, exquisite architecture, and ancient University, Oxford sits at the very heart of this rural county.
