Quite a big site but definitely in two sections, to the right of the gate there is more tree cover, to the left is larger but more open. We found the open side a great advantage as we were there at the time of the lunar eclipse and got a great view(at 3am), and the view of the stars was good too, there not being too many artificial lights around. The weather was extremely kind while we were there, despite early morning fog and we were able to walk across the fields to explore Batsford arboretum and enjoy a reasonably priced 'home cooked' lunch in the cafe. One word of warning. While the walk across the fields is levelish and easy to follow, be wary when you reach the road to the aboretum itself. There is no designated footpath, and the road is edged by fence. You need to be aware  of the traffic as there is a constant flow of vehicles entering and leaving, sometimes at the same time! We also visited the National Trusts Chastleton house, off the Oxford road. This Jacobean building is unique in that it has remained in the same family for four hundred years and is little altered. Maintained rather than renovated, and the location for the filming of some bits of the recent TV series, "Wolf Hall". Each room has a useful information sheet, and the room guides were full of stories too! The garden had some very interesting topiary - we had fun trying to guess what shape each tree had been cut into. Several interesting shops in Moreton, but suggest walking into town on a Tuesday when the market expands your choice considerably. Also within driving distance are Blenheim place, ( gardens worth the walk), Hailes Abbey, (good audio tour) and the Broadway Tower
