Freeland and Hanborough

About

Freeland and Hanborough ward is a primarily rural area in West Oxfordshire, centred around the two villages of its name. The landscape is characterised by farmland and the valley of the River Evenlode. Hanborough is notable for its railway station on the Cotswold Line, providing a direct link to London Paddington, which makes it a commuter settlement. Freeland, to the south, is a smaller village with a traditional green and a mix of older stone cottages and newer housing.

The area includes the grounds of Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, though the palace itself lies just outside the ward's boundary. Local geography features areas of woodland and the Hanborough gravel pits, which are now nature reserves. The community is served by primary schools in both villages, with secondary education and larger amenities found in nearby Witney. The ward's setting offers access to countryside walks along public footpaths.
