Country Kids

Discover the wonders of the rainforest as you stroll between tropical trees and plants, among free roaming butterflies and birds at The Living Rainforest.
See the steam trains from the golden age of the Great Western Railway in the original engine shed at Didcot Railway Centre, with a recreation of Brunel’s broad gauge railway and a typical country branch line.
Looking for a peaceful and attractive Riverside Park; with lots of green space for playing and has fully equipped play areas for toddlers and juniors, zip slide and BMX track, then head to the Northcroft and Goldwell Parks, a day out for young and old alike.
For the Grown Ups
Make The Georgian House your base for some of the greatest sporting events in the UK. Head to Royal Ascot for a flutter or watch the Royal Hunt at The Hennessey. The Henley Regatta and Silverstone Race Track are just an hours drive, or 15 minutes by helicopter.
The Georgian House is based at the foot of the North Wessex Downs. There are many miles of private roads and bridleways leading directly from the property up to the downs, neighbouring villages and ancient Ridgeway, so long walks and cycle rides can begin at the garden gates.
Locally available activities include hiking, golfing, boating, horse-riding and fishing, and the architectural and cultural delights of Oxford are just 25 minutes away by car. Numerous renowned village and riverside pubs and restaurants are also within easy reach, at least five of them by foot or bike.
