Holidays in Oxfordshire, England

World famous universities may be the first thing that spring to mind when thinking about Oxfordshire, but this enchanting county has a lot more to offer besides a certain learning centre. You only have to stroll along the Thames Path, see the famous wild river up close, while surrounded by butterfly filled meadows to have a sense of peace unique to this county. For those with hiking boots that need to be worn, follow the Ridgeway National trail and take marching route King Alfred and his troops used to defeat the Danes centuries ago. For those looking for that much more variety, South Oxfordshire offers a wealth of adventure holidays, with activities like paintball, hot air balloon rides and angling. And Oxford itself is overflowing with literary and cultural history and entrancing architecture, particularly that of the ancient University.
