Former Youth Hostel in Wantage in Oxfordshire

Just 2 miles south of Wantage, and only a few steps from the historic Ridgeway National Trail and on King Alfred's cycleway, The Court Hill Centre enjoys breathtaking views over the Vale of the White Horse.

Reclaimed barns surround a pretty courtyard garden with a walkers cafe. The grounds include wild woodland ideal for exploring, a sunny meeting/yoga room and a flat campsite, all with superb views. The centre offers evening meals, breakfasts, and picnic lunches. Meals are served in the onsite cafe or the hostels' beautiful high-roofed dining room which retains the impressive proportions and atmosphere of the old barn. There is also a self-catering kitchen with stunning views, a snug with log burner to relax in and an attic reading room. The Court Hill Centre has proved to be a popular year-round destination.

The hostel is able to provide low cost fully catered accommodation for school groups, with sole use of the facilities, large attic dorm rooms and private bedrooms for teachers.

The private rooms are popular with families, small groups and individuals. The Court Hill Centre is not taking sole use bookings from large groups at the moment.

North Wessex Downs National Landscape

March 10th 2024

The North Wessex Downs is an ancient chalk landscape that straddles Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire. An area of wide-open downland and dramatic scarp slopes, topped by the ancient Ridgeway. The northern edge, sweeps to a crest above the White Horse Vale and that is where you will find the Courthill Centre. Just 2 miles south of Wantage, and only a few steps from the historic Ridgeway National Trail and on King Alfred’s cycleway, The Court Hill Centre provides low cost fully catered accommodation for school groups, camping for long-distance walkers and private hostel bedrooms with self-catering for lucky individuals.

Whatever happened to YHA Ridgeway?

January 1st 2018

Although much used by schools, I am glad to say that the hostel is still available to individuals walking the Ridgeway or anyone who fancies a night or two in rural Oxfordshire. There are private rooms, a self-catering kitchen with stunning views and an amazing place to eat and chat under the timbers of the old barn.
