Location
Situated near the Brightwell Vineyard between Shillingford and Wallingford. Shillingford is a small Thames-side village with several attractive houses on the A4074 Reading to Oxford road.

The A4074 (in the village it is named as the Henley Road) bisects the village, but the Thame road has been diverted to form a mini-bypass so it avoids the centre of the village leaving the original road as a quiet back road. There is an excellent regular bus service in the village servicing Oxford and Reading.
