Richard, thank you for that suggestion. Would you be the person I need to speak to about that? and also some of our campers are avid walkers with devices and have asked if there are any apps that have local walks on them, I wondered if you would know?
Many thanks

Ali, the simple answer to your question is no! A permissive path linking Hundley Way to Widdows Wood, little over a hundred yards apart, would be very welcome indeed on all counts. I do not know who owns the field in question.

We could signpost it with Walkers are Welcome waymarkers, if that would help?

A map showing that route would be really useful at the end of Hundley Way...for the coffee shop & all the poor campers I see struggling along the road to & from the site.

Ali.There is an off road foot path. If you head to the edge of Charlbury on the B4022 Enstone Road. Go up Hundley way a little bit then there's a path back to the road, left round the barn conversion. Keep on the grass verge to the bottom of the hill. You should see a footpath sign on the left which takes you up the hill behind the hedge. At the top cross the road and either walk through the farm trail or along the grass verge. You'll deserve tea and buns when you get there!

It's a lovely spot for cake and coffee, or lunch and makes a nice walk with the kids from Charlbury. It's a gorgeous spot with lovely outdoor space in the sun. The woodwork is beautifully done! Thank you.

Thanks Josie. Entrance from the rear would make it a nice walking destination. It's less comfortable to get to on foot if it means going by the road. Just a thought.

Heather D. I do hope your Mum enjoyed it too. And as for the chocolate pecan thingie, I can definitely recommend it!
Heather H. On the lunch menu tomorrow is pate, soup, quiche, ploughman's and the special is lasagne. There is very pleasant outside area to sit in. If you think you may be pushed for time you could email your order through to info@cotswoldview.co.uk by 10.30am and we can get it ready for when you arrive. Our teas and coffees are also available to take away.

What do you for lunch, I work in Charlbury and fancy a quick snack tomorrow lunchtime and to be able to sit outside and soak up the rays. I am on a time limit - 1 hour for lunch can I sit outside?

Just come back from a tea and buns jaunt with my 90 year old Mum. What a transformation of the old shed. The tea was excellent and there was a mouthwatering choice of cakes and buns to choose from. Old favourites and some interesting new ones. We had the home made Italian apricot tart but it was a difficult one so need to go back soon and try the chocolate pecan thingy. Gluten free options as well. Prices very competitive for such quality products. Service efficient and very welcoming. Views and baby things at every turn. Walk up if you can but if not, parking good.

It is certainly a glorious place to be, especially in this weather. Yes, don't forget to bring your littlies with you for tea and buns this weekend!
The lambs seem to be growing daily, it's lovely to see the changes day by day.
Ali, no we do not have any access from the rear. All our access is from the front onto/from the B4022 via the driveway (for cars) or the metal gate for pedestrian visitors.

Our family loved our visit too, particularly the lambs. We will be back at weekends in sure.

Is there an entrance from behind Banbury Hill Farm, on the Ditchley Rd side? I've often wondered.

Wed 4 May 2016, 17:20

We came up at the weekend and had a great time. The cafe is lovely, the food was delicious and there was lots to do outside with our 8 year old and 3 year old. They loved the wooden tractor and seeing all the animals. We're looking forward to our next visit!

I walked up with my 4 year old. We had a great time meeting the lambs and a very nice afternoon tea.
