This lovely pub does good food and is a really nice walk from the cottage, across the fields from St. Mary's. You could do it in 20 - 25 minutes or take the longer route back which is about forty minutes. We've done it on a Summer's evening and seen deer on the way, coming back through the fields with sheep and horses! http://www.thebellathamptonpoyle.co.uk/

Shopping

http://www.objectsofuse.com/shop#.VzCRRoQrJhE This quirky store always has something interesting - and useful! A fascinating place even just to window-shop. From our store in central Oxford Objects of Use provides a source of enduring household tools and functional items. We seek out international archetypes of everyday objects, often items that have been made in the same way, by the same people, for a long time. We believe that having the right tool for the job vastly improves the experience of completing our daily tasks. We are ‘against throwawayism’, aiming to minimise the environmental impact of our products by offering objects that are built to last (and improve with age), using low-impact production methods and natural materials. We aim to source our products as carefully as possible, with the majority being manufactured in the UK, Europe, and Japan.

Arts & Culture

The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. Our world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time. The Ashmolean’s collections are extraordinarily diverse, representing most of the world’s great civilisations, with objects dating from 8000 BC to the present day. Among many riches we have the world’s greatest collection of Raphael drawings, the most important collection of Egyptian pre-Dynastic sculpture and ceramics outside Cairo, the only great Minoan collection in Britain, outstanding Anglo-Saxon treasures, and the foremost collection of modern Chinese painting in the Western world.
