Welcome to Shrivenham

Shrivenham is a small village located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles southwest of the town of Faringdon and 5 miles northeast of the town of Swindon. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, historic buildings, and vibrant community. Shrivenham is home to a number of amenities, including a post office, a village hall, a primary school, and several pubs and restaurants.

One of the most notable landmarks in Shrivenham is the Royal Military College of Science, which was established in the village in 1946. The college was originally founded to provide training for officers in the British Army, but it has since expanded to include courses in engineering, science, and technology. The college is now part of Cranfield University, and it continues to be a major center for research and education in the fields of defense and security.

In addition to its military history, Shrivenham is also known for its beautiful countryside and outdoor activities. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests, and winding rivers, making it an ideal destination for hiking, cycling, and fishing. The nearby Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is also a popular attraction, offering stunning views and a wide range of outdoor activities for visitors of all ages.
