Oxfordshire Tourist Guide - Articles

Attractions in Oxfordshire can be exciting, interesting, cultural, entertaining but never, ever dull.

Some of the most famous places to see in Oxford must be the numerous and varied variety of Colleges associated with Oxford University, rich in stunning architecture and steeped in academic history many are open daily to the public free of charge.

The beautiful town of Henley is a must for any visitor but becomes one of the most famous attractions in Oxfordshire at the beginning of July each year when the Royally renowned Regatta takes place – with marquees along the side of the Thames, champagne picnics and everyone dressed in their finery enjoying one of the best English spectacles.

For a trip back into the heady days of Steam a visit to Didcot Steam Railway is on offer, with the opportunity to peruse many old carriages and engines as well as take a ride on a working Steam train – a trip for young and old to savour.

And for those that wish to take in fresh air and open countryside, the county of Oxfordshire boasts long walks along the oldest road in England, the Ridgeway, as well as the opportunity to visit the enchanting and unique White Horse Hill and for those wishing to take in more watery recreation a punt along the Thames is a must.
