Shorthampton Oxfordshire Map

About Shorthampton

Shorthampton rests within a landscape where the Cotswold scarp begins its gentle descent towards the Oxfordshire plain. It lies 3.0 km west-north-west of Charlbury (from Charlbury: bearing 283°T, OS grid SP 328 201), and is situated south of Chadlington village. The hamlet, a collection of stone-built dwellings, is often bathed in the soft, diffused light characteristic of the region, a pale gold that seems to linger on the ancient walls and the surrounding fields. A quiet stream, perhaps no more than a respectable ditch, meanders through the fields nearby, its presence marked by a deeper green in the summer months. The air carries the scent of damp earth and, when the wind is right, the distant aroma of woodsmoke from neighbouring farms.
