About Great Rissington

Great Rissington, a jewel in the Cotswold crown, exhales a quietude that settles upon the soul like fine dust from ancient books. It lies 7.3 km north-west of Burford (from Burford: bearing 315°T, OS grid SP 199 173), and is situated south-south-east of Little Rissington village. The honey-coloured stone of its cottages, worn smooth by centuries of wind and rain, seems to absorb the very essence of the afternoon sun, casting a warm glow across the village green where, on occasion, the laughter of children might momentarily stir the slumbering air. A palpable sense of enduring presence pervades Great Rissington, a feeling that the lives lived here, from generations past to the present day, have contributed to a continuity as deep and steadfast as the earth itself. The surrounding landscape, a gentle sweep of rolling hills and verdant fields, offers a peaceful counterpoint to the clustered permanence of the dwellings, a reminder of the enduring natural forces that have shaped this corner of England.
