Maps and Directions

Travel west from London on the M40 to exit 8 (very soon after exit 7). Then head west on the A40 to Oxford. Do not enter the town centre, but take the North ring road (a continuation of the A40), following the signs for Cheltenham and Witney, until Burford in the Cotswolds.

At Burford, travel down the High Street, to where the road crosses a single-lane bridge controlled by traffic lights. Just over the bridge, turn left at the mini-roundabout, following the signs for Stow and the A424.

After approximately 3 miles, at the crest of the hill, there will be a sign marked 'Bruern single-track road'. Turn right. The single-track road will begin to descend into the Evenlode Valley. After approximately a third of a mile, make a turn right at the broken crossroads, and then immediately left. Carry on in the same easterly direction.

After approximately 2 miles, there will be a turning to the right, signposted Milton-under-Wychwood. Do not take this turning, but carry on across the junction.

Bruern Abbey is 3/4 of a mile further on, and is visible to the right of the road. Bruern Holiday Cottages are on the left-hand side of the road, opposite the entrance to Bruern Abbey. The entrance to the car park is to the left of the entrance to the Stable Yard.
