About Ardington

Ardington breathes the quiet dignity of the Vale of White Horse, a landscape shaped by ancient earth and enduring human endeavour. It lies 3.3 km east of Wantage (from Wantage: bearing 82°T, OS grid SU 431 883), and is situated north-east of East Lockinge village. The village green, a generous expanse of well-tended turf, offers a focal point where the gentle murmur of village life seems to gather, catching the soft, diffused light that often graces this part of Oxfordshire. Historically, Ardington's fortunes were tied to the land, its inhabitants cultivating the fertile soil and tending to livestock, a tradition that still lends a pastoral air to the surrounding fields, their colours shifting with the seasons. The architecture speaks of a continuity, with houses of brick and flint standing in quiet conversation with one another, their roofs often catching the low afternoon sun. The presence of the Manor House and its associated buildings hints at a long and established local gentry, whose influence may still be felt in the careful preservation of the village's character.
