Exciting news! A weekend bus service between Thornhill Park and Ride and Waterperry Gardens starts on Saturday 13th June

Thornhill Park and Ride connects with Oxford, London and the further UK coach network.

It starts next Saturday 13th June and will continue until the end of August. It will stop along the route in Wheatley.

This is a trial, as it is expensive, and if it is successful we may continue it in the years ahead.

It is a small 29 seater bus and the idea is that it helps reduce traffic and helps with accessibility for those who prefer to use public transport or do not have access to a car.

The webpage on the Oxford Bus Company website with the timetable is now live here: https://www.oxfordbus.co.uk/waterperry-gardens-shuttle-bus.

The lucky chicks that have taken up residence in our workshop have very attentive parents. Such a joy to watch.

A fabulous watch. The mill is just down the track from us and we have been lucky enough to catch sight of both the otters and the kingfishers just up river here in our gardens. Catch it on BBC iPlayer Secret Garden
