About
Standlake is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) southwest of the market town of Witney. The village origins probably pre-date the Roman occupation and archaeological evidence has been found of occupation in both Roman and Anglo-Saxon times, while the church of St. Giles dates from the late 12th century.
The village has a Post Office and Stores and a pub/restaurant.
Standlake is surrounded by numerous artificial lakes dug for the commercial extraction of gravel. Many are now stocked with fish and popular with anglers; others are used for aquatic sports such as windsurfing. The River Windrush flows through the village and there is a 2 mile walk, part of the Windrush Path, from Standlake down to the River Thames at Newbridge. Along the footpath look out for the striking mosaic sculptures created by the local community.
