What is Hill End?
Hill End provides outdoor learning experiences on our doorstep and generations have fond memories of outdoor trips to this 67 acre site. In 1920 the Wytham Estate was purchased by the philanthropic ffennell family, who established Hill End ‘Camp’. They later gifted the whole Estate to the University of Oxford.
