Places to stay in Botley
Botley is a village in the civil parish of North Hinksey, just west of the Oxford city boundary in the English county of Oxfordshire. It was in Berkshire until 1974, when it was transferred to Oxfordshire. It lies near the junction between the A34 Oxford ring road and the A420 to Swindon. Botley is effectively a suburb of Oxford, a largely residential area with property prices ranging from relatively cheap in some places, to very expensive, in the direction of Cumnor. The settlement of Dean Court adjoins Botley, in the parish of Cumnor. Botley includes a small local shopping centre at Elms Parade and a small precinct called West Way, a small retail complex, and the Church of England parish church of St Peter and St Paul, built in 1958. The various large office buildings along the main road include Seacourt Tower, known locally as "Botley Cathedral" owing to its small metal spire, originally built in 1965-66 as a car showroom and garage to a design by Beecher and Stamford. It is still owned by Hartwell Ford.
