A must-visit. Admission is relatively inexpensive, there are never many visitors, and the complex is a dream!

A beautiful example of a tree-lined lane north of Oxford. Usually very quiet car-wise, so a perfect place to drink in the view and enjoy the tarmac.

Broughton Castle is now open until September. They also have events such as 'Shakespeare in the Garden'. See web link below. "Broughton Castle is a moated and fortified manor house near Banbury in North Oxfordshire. Set in parkland and built of the rich local Hornton ironstone, it was selected by Simon Jenkins as one of only twenty to be awarded five stars in his book England’s Thousand Best Houses. The core of the house was built in 1306 and the gatehouse in the early fifteenth century, but most of what you see today dates from the 1550’s. It was a centre of opposition to Charles I and was besieged and damaged after the Battle of Edgehill in 1642. Broughton Castle is the home of Martin Fiennes and his family. The ownership of the Castle has been in the family in the female line since 1377, and in the male line since 1447" Source: https://www.broughtoncastle.com/

While the Church of England parish church of Saint James the Apostle is known to have existed by 1074 (a Norman carved doorway in the nave dates from this period), much of the building, including the bell tower, is Decorated Gothic from the first half of the 14th century. St. James' also has features from the 13th, 15th and 16th centuries. St. James' is a Grade I listed building. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton,_Oxfordshire

Sorry, I didn’t take a photo of the S&S arms so these photos are of our lunch before we went on a lovely local hike. They are GF/vege friendly, and it’s a beautiful old pub.
