A road near Bitham Farm, on the Lockinge Estate

The Lockinge Estate is a 3,035-hectare (7,500-acre) agricultural and housing estate near Wantage that today includes most of the land and property encompassing the villages of West Lockinge, East Lockinge and Ardington.[1] The current manager of the Lockinge Estate is Thomas Loyd.[2] Almost the entire estate is included within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The ancient Icknield Way passed through the estate,[3] as does the modern-day National Cycle Route 544.[4]
