Shrivenham Oxfordshire Map

About Shrivenham

Shrivenham breathes the quiet air of Oxfordshire, a village shaped by gentle landscapes. It lies 5.3 km south-east of Highworth (from Highworth: bearing 132°T, OS grid SU 239 889), and is situated south-south-west of Watchfield village. The River Cole, a slender ribbon of water, meanders through its environs, catching the pale afternoon sun in a way that hints at forgotten sketches. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, define the fields surrounding Shrivenham, their verdant expanse offering a soft counterpoint to the distant, more assertive lines of the Downs. The village itself, with its handsome stone cottages and the venerable spire of its parish church, possesses a composed dignity, as if aware of its long, unhurried passage through time. A palpable sense of community underpins the daily life of Shrivenham, a quiet understanding that binds its residents.
