A place to live, a place to love,

welcome to our Wantage

Wantage in Oxfordshire is a small market town in the Vale of White Horse, and has a good range of shops and services, including plenty of places to eat and drink.

Links with the past are very strong too and Wantage is a great place to visit to enjoy this historic part of England. Its where King Alfred the Great was born. We also have literary connections in Sir John Betjeman and Thomas Hardy.
