About Kencot

Kencot, a quiet hamlet in West Oxfordshire, exhales a scent of damp earth and distant hay. It lies 3.2 km south-west of Carterton (from Carterton: bearing 234°T, OS grid SP 255 049), and is situated north-north-east of Broadwell village. The gentle slope of the land here carries the whisper of water, suggesting ancient springs that once nourished the roots of oak trees now long departed. The cottages, fashioned from warm, honey-coloured stone, seem to absorb the muted afternoon sun, their roofs a patchwork of lichen and moss. A subtle scent of woodsmoke occasionally drifts on the air, a testament to hearths that have burned for generations. The immensity of the sky above Kencot, a vast canvas of ever-changing grey and blue, lends a quiet dignity to the humble landscape.
