Location

Green Farm House sits alongside the village green in the village of Aldsworth near Burford with fine views of the surrounding countryside. The village is ideally located to explore the Cotswold towns of Burford, Northleach and Cirencester, and the beautiful villages of Bibury and Coln St Aldwyns - both in walking distance. The Sherborne Arms (circa 1799) is a family-owned pub and is within a short walk. Aldsworth has a village hall and the cricket club plays their fixtures in the field next to the hall. St. Bartholomew’s church dates to late Norman times and has a 15th century spire - an unusual feature for a Cotswold church - which can be seen for miles around. The popular Cripps Stone Barn wedding venue is just under two miles away.
