Welcome to Thenford

Thenford is a small village located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south-west of the town of Brackley and 10 miles north-east of the city of Banbury. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the Grade II listed St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The village also has a pub, a village hall, and a primary school.

One of the most notable features of Thenford is the Thenford Arboretum, which covers over 70 acres of land and is home to a vast collection of rare and exotic trees and shrubs from around the world. The arboretum was established in the 1970s by Lord and Lady Heseltine, who have since added to the collection over the years. Visitors can explore the arboretum on foot, taking in the stunning scenery and admiring the diverse range of plant life on display.

Another popular attraction in Thenford is the annual Thenford Gardens Open Day, which takes place in June each year. The event allows visitors to explore the beautiful gardens of Thenford House, which are not normally open to the public. The gardens cover over 70 acres and feature a wide range of plants, including rare and exotic species. The event also includes a plant sale, refreshments, and live music, making it a great day out for all the family.
