Can anyone tell me what Benson in Oxfordshire is like to live in please?

Don’t need to worry about schools at all. Thank you :)

RAF Benson operates helicopters. They're noisier than ordinary planes.

it's a cold spot records some of the lowest temp in winter in England

I live very nearby, its a lovely area, good village centre with shops/couple of pubs, great for families generally. Its better value for money than some of the other villages round here. There is a new housing estate which is also nice but its pretty massive and will likely stretch the village facilities/traffic etc in the years to come. RAF Benson is obviously close by (some houses are more affected by the runway noise than others) but you get used to the helicopters overhead noise very quickly.

Thank you so much for the replies. I currently live under a flight path so I don’t think helicopters will bother me!

Did there?! That sounds intriguing - is it there a deep dark underside to the deceptively pleasant sounding Benson?!
