Leafield was, in the 15th century, a royal hunting forest, and it remains a National Nature Reserve. The village has, for some years, been a centre of local pottery production. With the Wychwood Way, a 37 mile walk, running across Leafield Lower-End, the village offers a plethora of walking opportunities on public footpaths.
There is a local village store and post office, offering freshly cooked, home baked goods and local groceries, perfect for a quick bite to eat. For those looking for more, there is The Fox, a traditional English pub offering locally sourced food and ales, with an open fire and the opportunity to relax. If you fancy a little something different, the Chinese Restaurant, The Pearl, on the outskirts of Leafield, is warm and inviting with friendly staff.
There is a local Primary School (OfSted rated Good in 2019) https://www.leafield.oxon.sch.uk/ which was built in 1839, here children can experience a Church of England education. If you want to have your say on how the village runs and village activities and events, you can join the Parish Council.
