Why we love Abingdon
Less than a 10-minute drive from us, Abingdon is a country gem, filled with interesting history, breath-taking landscapes and winding rivers. Travel just over 20 minutes by car and you’ll discover the popular walking trails of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east. Head west for a similar distance and you’ll stumble across the iconic Cotswolds and its charming chocolate-box villages. And if you’re lucky enough to be in Abingdon during a major royal occasion, check out the curious tradition of Bun Throwing from the town’s rooftops!
History buffs will love the Abingdon County Hall Museum and the old Abingdon Abbey, said to have been founded in 675 A.D. Plus, the town’s riverside parks and walks along the River Thames are a great way to top off a meal out at The Applecart Beefeater.
Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, is about a 15-minute drive by car from our restaurant. Brimming with inspiring architecture, world-famous colleges and some of the best museums in the UK, the vibrant cosmopolitan streets of this historic city are truly worth a visit.
