pSituation

Souldern is a picturesque village pressed up against the Northants border and lies against the wooded park, which runs beside the Ockley Brook as it flows from Tusmore and Croughton to join the river Cherwell. William Wordsworth once visited the village and found it so enchanting he penned a sonnet on "A Parsonage in Oxfordshire". Being situated down a no through road Souldern lies approximately midway between the towns of Banbury and Bicester, affording excellent communications from either mainline railway stations (Bicester North or Bicester Village) or the M40 motorway at Junction 10. The village has a public house namely "The Fox Inn" and a Church. There are numerous good schools nearby namely Winchester House, Beachborough, Tudor Hall, Stowe and Bloxham.
