Frilford Heath is a village in Oxfordshire, approximately 5 miles from the town of Abingdon. The hamlets of Frilford and Frilford Heath are on and near to the crossroads of the A338 Oxford to Wantage road and the A415 Witney to Abingdon road. Frilford Heath has one pub, The Dog House Hotel. The name originates from the days when wealthy farming gentry sent their offspring to be educated in Oxford and would arrive there complete with their horses and hunting dogs. The Colleges allowed their students to stable horses but not dogs, so the proprietor of the local inn offered an invaluable 'dog sitting' service and the venue became known as the Dog House. The centre of Frilford is dominated by the Abingdon School playing fields. Opposite the playing fields is the Abingdon Preparatory School and, down a short drive, Frilford Evangelical Chapel. On the outskirts of the village is Millets Farm Centre which includes a farm shop, restaurant, garden centre and small animal park. Nearby attractions include Kingston House and Gardens in Kingston Bagpuize and the Cothill National Nature Reserve. Leisure facilities include Frilford Heath Golf Club, providing 54 holes of championship golf.
