Oxfordshire is a fascinating county, a county of many contrasts. It effectively joins the Midlands, the South East and the South West of England together, and different parts of the county share the characteristics of these regions. To the north, Oxfordshire borders the counties of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire; the historic town of Banbury is the main town in North Oxfordshire and is close to Stratford-upon-Avon . To the west lie the counties of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire; the western edges of Oxfordshire blend into the beautiful Cotswolds and its delightful rolling scenery. The charismatic market town of Burford, midway between Oxford and Cheltenham on the A40, is regarded as Oxfordshire’s gateway to the Cotswolds. Oxfordshire is bounded to the east by the county of Buckinghamshire; the historic market town of Aylesbury is just over the border. To the south of Oxfordshire lies the Royal County of Berkshire; the two counties are separated for some way by the River Thames, the main river that flows through Oxfordshire from its source in Gloucestershire, through Oxford and Abingdon, then on to Henley-on-Thames before it crosses into Berkshire, through Reading and on towards London.

The county town of Oxfordshire is of course Oxford; this medieval seat of learning and home to the oldest university in the English speaking world is one of the UK’s most popular tourist attractions, with its astonishing history, beautiful buildings hewn from honey coloured Cotswold stone, and its remarkable selection of hotels, pubs and restaurants. Situated just a few miles to the north west of Oxford is the delightful village of Woodstock, inextricably linked to the Dukes of Marlborough and Winston Churchill, and of course the site of one of the country’s most treasured stately homes – Blenheim Palace. The sense of history and heritage is strong throughout Oxfordshire; from the many Roman settlements and roads found in the county to the birth of King Alfred the Great in Wantage, and from the importance of the canals and the railways in the development of Great Britain’s industrial might, Oxfordshire has witnessed all of these events and more. In more recent times Oxfordshire was a hub of automotive development; Morris Motors were based at Cowley in Oxford for decades, and MG built their distinctive sports cars at Abingdon until the 1980s. Today this spirit lives on, as many of the UK’s Formula One motor racing teams have based their headquarters around the county.
