SO PICTURESQUE! Lots of history, fascinating to "read" the remains of the buildings to see how the house changed. Wander around to the dovecote, it's been open to go inside on some of my visits over the years. Good interpretation boards. Love the stories about Lord Lovell, locked in the cellar and starved to death. Church is quite special, but Bampton or Burford are better.
2. St Mary’s Church
3. Cogges
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 265 reviews
Cogges is an historic farmstead and great day out in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, with over 15 acres of beautiful grounds and farmyard to explore. Cogges dates back to the 10th Century and today you will find this unique place brought to life with the sights, sounds and smells of a lively farmyard. The site of the first manor house is surrounded by a Norman moat and is now the location for a timber play fort and adventure playground - great fun for children of all ages. More recently, Cogges is the location for filming of Downton Abbey - home of Mr Drewe the tenant farmer of Yew Tree Farm.

This place was very close to one of the B&B's I was staying at, otherwise , I may not have visited, but I was glad I did. It is a good walk and you need to wear flats shoes, a little muddy and certainly stoney especially if its been raining. The overall site was Excellent but I found the housed Mosaics facinating to think it had survived all those Hundreds of years. The colours were very distinguishable and very vibrant. I would recommend everyone and children to visit this site. Well, worth the walk.
