The Oxpens – originally used to house oxen overnight after a day’s ploughing. The building and site was restored by The Ernest Cook Trust.

Discover Fairford

Coming soon!

Thank you for accessing this page via the QR code.

We plan to fill this page with information about Fairford Park’s history, woodland and agriculture.

We’ll also add maps to help you discover and enjoy these unique natural environments. For starters, click on the link below which shows permissive footpaths in the river catchment.

Until then, why not turn right at the end of the drive (facing the town) and head for the Oxpens – a two minute walk, just over the river, shown at the bottom of the linked map below.

Here, you’ll find covered seating (ideal for a picnic) and a doorway to the footpath which meanders north along the River Coln to Quenington (please note, this footpath is closed on Tuesdays!)

Thank you for your patience.
