Woodcote Local Information
Woodcote is a village located in the South Chilterns the Chiltern
Hills being a chalk ridge in south east England. In 1965, a large
area of ‘the Chilterns’ (as they are known locally)
was labelled an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Woodcote is
the second highest point in the Chilterns (after Nuffield). The
village is centred around the green and Church Farm as are many
old villages with the village hall centred on the crossroads.
If you fancy a stroll through tranquil country side, then Woodcote
is the place to be – get there by car rental and take one
of the many country paths that run in and around the village and
take your time enjoying the scenery. Indeed, ‘Woodcote’
means ‘cottage in the wood’ – so picture what
it would have been like when the name first arose in 1109. Woodcote
was a gypsy settlement for some time and in keeping with custom
to bury their dead on high ground, a gypsy burial ground has been
found in Woodcote.
There is little known about the history of the village, but a 5000
year old axe has been found on the site of the village to suggest
that settlement goes back at least that long.
Use your car rental to get to the annual festival in Woodcote, with
proceeds being donated to local charities. The festival showcases
beers, as well as steam, vintage and veteran transport – there
is also a fun fair attached, so there is something for everyone.
It’s a pity the fair is only once a year! And let’s
not forget the craft and trade stands, live entertainment and protected
animals.
The village of Woodcote is quaint, but to say quaint might make
you think of something cheesey and false. Woodcote is anything but
– take a drive in your car rental and spend a day in another
world, one you won’t want to leave in a hurry.
