Queenford Farm sits on the banks of the River Thame near Dorchester on Thames, once an important Roman settlement. There were several Roman watermills on this stretch of the river and one of these was at Queenford. Sadly, we no longer have a water mill here, and the nearby Roman cemetery is now largely under the A4074 Oxford to Reading road. However, we do have something here that has a strong Roman connection, and that is our flock of Cotswold sheep.
The farm is a mixture of permanent pasture, lakes, a river, and woodland. While the sheep enjoy the pasture year round, for several weeks annually since 2019 the lakes and woodland are home to wonderful adventure courses for 4-13 year olds run by Oxford Boat Adventure.
We also run Queenford Farm Storage. There are 9 units which are let to local businesses of varying types – ‘storage’ and ‘light industrial’.
