Woodcote Church

Woodcote is about a 20 minute drive from Didcot. Take the first turning signposted into Woodcote, which is on your right as you're travelling on the A4074 along the road to Reading. You will turn into the B471, which is the Oxford Road. Take the first left into Tidmore Road. You will see a village hall and the park which is immediately behind it. The school is on the other side of the fence to the park. 

Find this park on the google map I made for you. 


There's plenty of parking, as you can see (above). 

Woodcote Park has absolutely everything - except any shade. We visited on an extremely hot day last week, and it was sorely missed. Consequently we didn't stay for as long as we usually do in a new park. 

Our trip was made more pleasant, however, by the presence of the Post Office which sells everything. 




Probably the oddest piece of equipment ever! You hold on to the bar. It rotates. 


The park has equipment for children of all ages. The (above) piece is suitable for very small children. 



These swings are the total opposite to the extremely low ones found in Steventon Park!


My children had a fantastic time on this climbing frame. 


However, they were decidedly unimpressed with the zipwire, which they called the 'world's slowest'! 

Woodcote park is set in a large recreation field. There is a pub and a restaurant on the opposite side of the road. It appeared to me that the village hall was usually opened, but was having repairs, so the loos were out of action. 


Here's the usual picture of totally unrelated things:
