LOCATION
 | The Coach and Horses is situated in Chislehampton; a small village on the B480; precisely 7 miles from the centre of Oxford and 5 and a half miles from junction 7on the M40. |
Although a local bus stop is at our entrance, guests arriving by train are advised to take a taxi from the station rank. We are indeed fortunate to reside in this beautiful area steeped in history and learning; of recent times better known maybe for the Motor Industry. Despite this and a myriad of other modern industries, Oxfordshire continues to rely heavily on agriculture. Indeed our bedrooms are built within a few yards of farmland, the majority enjoying a panoramic view of this rich rural country. |
SPORTS AND RECREATION
Oxford now boasts a first class Ice-Skating Rink, a superb indoor swimmingpool, and of course Old Father Thamas, who offers anglers and those who like messing about in boats endless opportunities. Cricket lovers will find the incomparable setting of the Parks hard to resist, where Country and National touring sides provide opposition for the University inearly summer. Oxford Riding School is less than 2miles away.Walkers have Shotover, once the last dangerous stretch ofroad from London to Oxford, where Highwaymen lurked and wild boar roamed. Now several marked trails take you through this ancient common land, where wildlife and indigenous plants remain for all to enjoy. There are six major Cinemas and two Theatres in Oxford, all deservedly popular, and offering an excellent choice of filmed, or live entertainment's including frequent orchestral concerts. |
