There is a short walk from the car park to the Manor (approximately 10 to 12 minutes). Download our Village Map here for the route through the village. Brown heritage signs will direct you to the manor. Please respect the privacy of our neighbours.

A free shuttle minibus will take visitors who are unable to make the walk to the Manor.

The car park is closed and locked at 5.30pm on our public open days.

Unfortunately, due to our remote location, there is no direct public transport to the Manor except a limited Saturday service from Faringdon during the summer.

The nearest public transport is either the S6 bus from Oxford or Swindon which stops at Faringdon or the 77 bus from Cirencester to Highworth, which stops at Lechlade. Both bus routes are run by Stagecoach.

If you are feeling adventurous our friends at Cotswold Canoe Hire offer a ‘Kelmscott Manor Paddle’ experience. Find out more here.
