Reputedly England’s smallest town offers, as well as interesting architecture and history, a curious white mark carved into the nearby hill. Legend has it the 270ft triangular mark was designed by local squire Edward Horne in 1764 because he felt the church required a spire. Watlington is the heartland of the re-introduced red kites and is a wonderful vantage point to see these large and distinctive birds of prey in flight.

The library featured as Midsomer Library.
