Chinnor is steeped in history, with a working steam railway dating back to 1872, offering rides and hosting events most weekends. You’ll find a lovingly restored windmill in White’s Field, re-built by volunteers from old photographs.

Chinnor village boasts a wealth of shops including a traditional butcher, bakery, book shop and cafe. White’s Field, located right next to the Driftway development, is a popular place for many local events, including an annual Chinnor Beer Festival, arts and crafts clubs for youngsters, and regular quiz nights.
