The village shop and main street at Buscot

Whereas many villages seem deserted during the day, Buscot is often busy with visitors to the lock and picnic site beside the river, or taking advantage of the tea room attached to the village shop. Buscot is part of the National Trust's Buscot and Coleshill Estates and many of the houses in the village are owned by the National Trust. At the entrance to the village there is a village hall with a clock tower and a covered well with a standpipe and working tap. A short distance along the road towards Faringdon is Buscot Park, an 18th century country house and estate belonging to the National Trust. The contents of the house - paintings, furniture and objets d'art are known as the "Faringdon Collection" and are owned by the Faringdon Collection Trust. The house is occupied and managed by the present Lord Faringdon. Buscot Park is also well-known for its water garden and the Four Seasons Walled Garden which was created by the present Lord Faringdon.
