CUMNOR HILL

Cumnor Hill is a hill in the civil parish of Cumnor, within the west boundary of the city of Oxford in the English county of Oxfordshire. It is also the name of the ribbon development between the original Cumnor village and Botley outside the ring road on the outskirts of Oxford. The road up Cumnor Hill was the original route of the A420 between Oxford and Swindon, until the Cumnor Hill by-pass was built in the 1970s. The road is now unclassified. At the top of Cumnor Hill is the hamlet of Chawley, where the Kimmeridge Clay is close to the surface. There were brickworks there until 1937.  Cumnor Hill offers the beauty of Oxfordshire’s breathtaking rolling countryside, yet being conveniently placed approximately three miles from the centre of this historic University City and its many cultural attractions.  Cumnor’s community continues to thrive, enhanced by three churches, several pubs and local shops and a highly-regarded primary school.  

"As first time buyers, it was great to have a helpful and understanding team on hand to deal with the purchase. D&S were great at getting things pushed along up the chain leading to a problem free transaction. D&S were also understanding and patient while we arranged our mortgage, which took longer than expected due to our first time buyer situation."
