Shrivenham is one of the larger villages within the Vale of the White Horse and without question one of the most desirable in the area, with a thriving community. The village is located circa 5 miles north-east of Swindon and circa 5 miles south-west of the market town of Faringdon. The village is ideally located for access to the M4 (8 minutes away) and the A420 leading to Oxford and beyond. In addition to the Memorial Hall on the corner of Highworth Road and newly built primary school and pre-school in Raven Way, there is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, restaurants, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, chemist, Methodist church and parish church. There is a frequent bus service through the village from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.
