A place to live, a place to love,
welcome to 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 pubs and restaurants, places to visit and accommodation
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.
The village of Grove is just a couple of miles to the north. Grove is a thriving community with plenty of shops, churches, businesses, clubs and has Fairtrade Village status – take a look at the Grove Parish Council website.
