Garsington is a village in Oxfordshire, some 5 miles south east of Oxford. It is a village of hills and narrow roads. The ground rises from 200 feet at the foot of the hill to 431 feet at the highest point of the ridge. We have magnificent views in all directions, the Chilterns to the east, Oxford to the west and the Berkshire Downs with Wittenham Clumps to the south.
The village is home to over 2,000 people, and has no local shop or newsagent. However, it does have 3 pubs, an estate agents, car repair centre, hairdressers and a garden centre. Of the pubs two serve food daily, The Plough and the Three Horseshoes. It also has a local Church of England primary school that performs well in SATs. We have a fine Memorial Playing Field with a Sports and Social Club.
Our South Oxfordshire district councillor is Elizabeth Gillespie and on Oxfordshire County Council our interests are represented by David Turner. Our Member of Parliament is Boris Johnson, but perhaps not for much longer if his ambitions further afield are realised.
