| Long Wittenham is 5 miles from
Abingdon, nestled along the banks of the Thames. It under
the watchful gaze of Wittenham Clumps, an Iron Age hill fort in its
sister village of Little Wittenham. Mentioned in the Domesday Survey of
1086, Long Wittenham has a rich history evident as one strolls around
the village. Cruck Cottage, one of the oldest houses in South
Oxfordshire, is believed to date from the 13th century. There are a
number of picturesque timber framed and thatched cottages in the
village, as well as an eclectic mixture of more modern buildings, from
Georgian houses and post-war 'Cornish' housing, to barn conversions and
new builds.
