Despite being only 15 minutes from Banbury station, the reclusive nature of Purston plus its extraordinary views and rolling hills make it feel like another world.
The Barnetts have been farming at Purston since 1994 and in Oxon/Northants for generations. David Barnett has planted nearly 50,000 tress to restire the landscape, or which 25,000 now form three new spinneys. You can walk for 45 minutes round the farm without touching a road.
