Claimed to be England's largest village, Kidlington rests peacefully amidst the serene countryside, whilst its heartbeat remains vibrant and inviting. Originating from the Old English term for a "settlement of the Kidlings," or "sons" of Cydel, Kidlington has grown into a charming, bustling hub, offering over 50 shops, banks, and a tight-knit community feel whilst remaining steeped in history.

The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is an architectural marvel, dating back to 1220 and standing proud with its medieval stained glass and iconic 165-foot spire, known as "Our Lady's Needle". Stroll along the ribbon-like A4260, tracing its roots to the 1920s and '30s, or take a detour to the roundabout housing the monument to Oxford Zoo's past residents and become part of this charming locality's rich history.

Humming with activity, Kidlington also serves as the headquarters of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Thames Valley Police, and homes various schools, including Gosford Hill School. It's also the base for many sporting institutions from football to cricket — there's truly something for everyone!

When to visit Kidlington

With each season bringing a unique charm to this charming village, deciding on the best time to visit Kidlington could be a wonderful conundrum. The perfect weather of late July is particularly inviting, offering warm temperatures making exploring the local area a genuine delight. Rainfall is rare in April, September and March, rendering these months as wonderful opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

Tourism peaks during the sun-soaked months of June, July and August, although winter paints Kidlington with an alluring frosty glow, offering a cooling retreat from the hustle and bustle. However, the colder months may not be ideal for those who prefer warmer climates, with occasional rain and snow showers adding a touch of whimsy.
