About Coleshill Village and Parkland
Dating back to the Domesday Book, Coleshill is a rural place where time appears to have stood still. Sitting on the banks of the River Cole, with far-reaching views across to the magnificent White Horse Hill and surrounded by miles of walking trails across fields and through woodland, it's a great place to relax in and explore.
Positioned right on the border of Oxfordshire and Wiltshire, the now missing Coleshill House was the site of the headquarters of the secret Auxiliary Units in the Second World War.
The Heritage Skills Centre sits at the heart of the Model Farm in Coleshill; a hub for knowledge sharing and education in traditional skills and rural crafts.
