Clifton has a very safe and friendly community feel to it

The village has it’s origins in pre-Roman times as an agricultural settlement and is recorded in the Domesday Book as having a church dedicated to St. Mary. That church no longer exists, though the present one (of the same name) dates back to the 13th century and hosts regular services including regular weddings and baptisms.

The amenities here include The Bull Inn public house, St Mary’s Church, the Clifton general store, a beauticians, hairdressers, estate agents and the Townsend Memorial village hall which hosts many activities including mother and baby groups, fitness activities, bridge and one of Clare’s favourites, ‘Tuesday Teas‘ where many of the villagers get together for a chat and a very acceptable piece of cake!

There’s a playing field, tennis club with three courts and a park for the little ones. There are plenty of country walks on your doorstep including the towpath walks along the Oxford Canal.

The village has an elevated position and sits on a hill with the Oxford canal to the South and the River Avon to the North. Lots of great places to take a walk.
