Traveler advice
Getting around
Taxis can be in short supply
At peak times taxis can be a little hard to source, we strongly recommend advance booking to avoid any stress.
Excelsior Taxis are the recommended service.
Getting around
Located only 10 minutes from Kingham and Charlbury stations
If you are planning on travelling from London by train, Kingham station would be your better option as taxi fares are approx £15 to Chipping Norton. Please note neither of the local stations have taxi ranks and advance booking is a must!
