Campsite at The Duke Pub

A 17th Century Grade II listed thatched charming country inn ideally located
in the historic Oxfordshire countryside, with easy access to the M40.


Traditional Country Inn
Cosy! – The Duke has been serving local real ales since 1774.
The roaring fire in the inglenook fireplace, wooden pews and the low
beamed ceilings make the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing cosy drink.


History

The name of the inn derives itself from Prince Rupert of the Rhine,
a nephew of Charles I who played a key role in the famous Battle of Edgehill, 1642,
in nearby Warwickshire, and was rewarded with the title the Duke of Cumberland.
He was widely regarded as a skilful and athletic soldier and records show
he was stationed at Aynhoe Park House with Royalist troops during this period.
Rumour has it he stayed and drank at the pub during this time.

River Cherwell at Clifton
The Inn is situated in the centre of the the village of Clifton,
a hamlet by the River Cherwell, between the historic villages
of Deddington and Aynho.
