The centre of the village of Standlake

Standlake is in the area of flat flood plain between the River thames and the higher ground to the north. The name Standlake means 'stony stream' which reflects the village's low-lying position among a network of rivers and streams. The River Windrush is on the edge of the village, and surrounding the village are numerous gravel pits, many now used for fishing and aquatic sports such as windsurfing. Like many villages, most of Standlake lies off the main road and therefore drivers often miss the most attractive part of the village which is centred on High Street and Church End.
