OUR THOUGHTS ON IPSDEN & WALLINGFORD

Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Ipsden is a small village tucked away in a corner of South Oxfordshire, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Together with its hamlets, Ipsden enjoys an excellent community spirit supporting a pub, village store and post office, farm shop, nursery school, Church, village hall, drama society, children’s playground and cricket club. With some of the most stunning views and walks in this part of England. The Ridgeway and the Icknield Way both pass through Ipsden; these paths winding through surrounding fields and woods enable relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Situated on the banks of the River Thames, Wallingford –with its desirable setting and attractive architecture –offers market town living at its finest. Bordered by the rolling Chilterns on one side and the magnificent Berkshire Downs on the other, it’s an idyllic spot within exhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors. With its large open market square and famous castle ruins, this bustling market town is suffused in history. But what you might not know is that contemporary Wallingford is home to a fresh energetic vibe, stoked by some great independent shopping, a sparkling array of dining options and thriving café culture. If that wasn’t enough, Wallingford’s outstanding schools, great leisure facilities and abundant footpaths, mean the town is fast becoming South Oxfordshire’s most sought after small town. Both Oxford and Reading are within striking distance, Wallingford is well connected to some of London’s fastest rail-links and is well positioned for both the M4 and M40.
