Dist:0.1km<br/>Bruern Abbey viewed from the Oxfordshire Way. One of the pleasures of walking is discovering the unexpected such as this imposing Georgian house which today is home to a boarding school for boys aged 7-13 with dyslexia or other specific learning difficulties. See: http://www.bruernabbey.org/ The house was built on the site of a Cistercian Abbey, founded in 1147. In 1947, the house was bought by Michael Aster, third son of Waldorf, 2nd Viscount Astor and his wife American born Nancy. See: http://www.bruern-holiday-cottages.co.uk/history/
