Cherwell in North Oxfordshire, lies in central England astride the M40 motorway between London and Birmingham.

The area offers a unique and successful combination: its fine rural landscape provides some of the most attractive and picturesque scenery in Oxfordshire, whilst thriving commercial and industrial centres bring prosperity and economic strength in a highly accessible and very desirable location.

There are three main urban centres - Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington - and over 60 villages in the Cherwell District.
