Oxfordshire's Hidden Valley


With stunning countryside all around, we encircle the beautiful Heyford Valley with remarkable views from a lesser appreciated part of the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. It's one of those places you just don't appreciate, until you investigate on foot...

One of it's profound little secrets, The Steeple Aston Eyecatcher was designed around 1740 by William Kent and is one of the earliest examples of a sham ruin. It was designed to be viewed from Rousham Park and gives meaning to Horace Walpole's words about Kent 'He leaped the fence and saw that all nature was a garden.'
