Kidlington is a lively and well-connected village-turned-town just five miles north of Oxford, often considered one of the largest villages in England. With its mix of old-world charm and suburban convenience, it's a popular spot for families, professionals and retirees alike. The centre's full of character, there's a proper community feel, and it's easy to see why people settle here.

The town's roots run deep, with references dating back to Saxon times. Its name likely comes from “Cydda's people,” hinting at early tribal settlements. Through the centuries, it evolved from a rural farming village into a significant residential area, especially during the post-war expansion. Kidlington grew rapidly in the 20th century and now has a population of just under 14,000. Despite the growth, it's still managed to keep a village vibe, with the church spire of St Mary's visible from across the fields, and the River Cherwell weaving its way close by.

There's plenty to keep you busy around town. You've got the High Street with its blend of shops, cafés and services, plus the leafy Water Eaton Lane and the peaceful canal towpath walks. Exeter Hall plays host to everything from wedding receptions to yoga classes, and there's a lovely local library too. Hop a few minutes in the car and you're spoilt for choice. Blenheim Palace in Woodstock is a real highlight – a World Heritage Site and well worth a day out. The National Trust runs Rousham Gardens just up the road, a proper hidden gem for garden lovers. English Heritage looks after North Leigh Roman Villa, which gives a good glimpse into the area's past. There's a scattering of pretty villages nearby too, each with their own quirks and country pubs.

Widen the net a bit and Oxfordshire's full of treasures. Obviously, Oxford is the big pull – the dreaming spires, the colleges, the museums – but there's more to the county than just the university city. You've got the Cotswolds to the west, with its chocolate-box towns like Burford and Chipping Norton. Banbury's up north with its canal-side charm, and places like Abingdon, Thame and Henley-on-Thames give you a mix of market town bustle and riverside calm. There's also Didcot's railway centre, the Harcourt Arboretum near Nuneham Courtenay, and Bicester Village for a bit of retail therapy.

Getting to and from Kidlington's a breeze. The A4260 runs right through, linking Oxford to Banbury, and you're close to the A34 and M40 for wider travel. Oxford Parkway station sits just to the south – a handy hub with direct trains into London Marylebone in under an hour. Buses run regularly into Oxford and surrounding villages. For flights, London Oxford Airport is practically on the doorstep, mainly used for private and business travel, while Heathrow is just over an hour away by road. If you're on two wheels, the Sustrans cycle network links through too, and it's not bad for walking either, especially with the canal paths and nearby countryside.

Oxfordshire's got that ideal blend of rolling countryside, historic towns, and solid transport links. It's a county steeped in heritage, from ancient stone circles and Roman roads to medieval churches and grand estates. You get the academic weight of Oxford combined with rustic villages, thatched cottages and proper English pubs. Farming, science, tech and tourism all rub shoulders here, giving the place a mix of old and new that actually works. Whether you're just visiting or thinking of putting down roots, there's a lot to like.
