Abingdon is a sought-after market town, close to the River Thames and five miles south of Oxford. Despite its proximity to the city, the area boasts wide open spaces and heaps of rural character. A weekly market and monthly farmers’ market adds to the appeal, as do the local amenities and family-friendly attractions.

All the modern luxuries can be found on the high street, including countless independent retailers and a nearby Waitrose supermarket. For added convenience, Oxford city centre and its major transportation links are only a short distance away. As such, the young professional can enjoy a quick commute to London, or work closer to home at the Abingdon business estate.

The County Hall Museum 

Families are just as impressed with the area, not to mention the first-rate schools and leisure facilities. An outdoor swimming pool at Abbey Meadow is a summer time favourite and the town is home to a selection of sports clubs, from tennis to rugby and football.

Otherwise, it’s the more laidback pursuits that make the area so appealing for both young and old. Whether it’s admiring the historic sights at the cobbled market square or taking a leisurely stroll along the River Thames, Abingdon promises a slower-paced and more relaxed lifestyle.

Abingdon’s biggest attraction is the old Benedictine Abingdon Abbey, which was supposedly founded in 675 by Cissa, viceroy of Centwine, or possibly his nephew, in honour of the Virgin Mary. The Abbey of Abingdon is a place with a fascinating history which locals and visitors alike enjoy researching. The beautiful Abingdon Abbey Buildings have evolved into a vital community asset for the town.     

Other attractions in Abingdon include St Nicholas Church, St Helen’s Church and Long Alley Almhouse. 

The Abingdon Museum is a Grade II listed building where the history of the town and its surrounding locality can be discovered.  

Abingdon is known for the rather peculiar and unique ‘Bun-Throwing’, a tradition which goes back over 400 years. Local dignitaries throw buns from the roof of the Abingdon Museum in the market square as a way of celebrating major royal events such as royal marriages, coronations and jubilees.  

Abingdon Michaelmas Fair is the longest street fair in Europe, which runs from the Market Place through to the High Street.

Abingdon is also famous for its popular Monday Charter Market, which takes place on the cobbled Market Place square. This busy market has been running since 1556, making it one of England’s oldest. The Market Place hosts a number of markets, including a farmer’s market on the third Friday of the month.  

Abingdon has a good selection of restaurants too including Italian, Mexican, Thai, Indian and British gastropub options. Dorindo’s, Limoncello Restaurant, ASK Italian and The Spread Eagle are some of the most popular restaurants in the area. 

Abingdon’s Loose Canon Brewing Company is worth a special mention too. This brewery serves a fine selection of craft beers and also hosts regular live music nights. 

Leisure Centres and Outdoor Activities 

Outdoor enthusiasts can head out of Abingdon and into the glorious countryside surrounding the town for terrific hiking and biking opportunities. There are also many lovely riverside walks to enjoy in and around the town itself, and Abbey Gardens and Meadow and Albert Park, which has an outdoor swimming pool, also provides lots of enjoyment in the outdoors.

The White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre is a state-of-the-art leisure centre with a gym, fitness centre studio, sports hall, two squash courts, eight badminton courts, six indoor tennis courts and four artificial grass courts, as well as an 8-lane swimming pool, sauna and steam room. There is also a sports centre located within the grounds of Abingdon School which has a strength and conditioning gym, sports hall, squash courts, climbing wall and 8-lane heated Gala swimming pool. 

History of Abingdon

Large settlements were thought to have occupied Abingdon as far back as the Iron Age, and tools have even been uncovered from the Neolithic era. During medieval times, much of the town’s activity was centred on Abingdon Abbey. Although the original structure no longer remains, visitors can still explore this impressive building and its grounds. It was made famous by William the Conqueror, who celebrated an Easter at the Abbey.

Although it later fell into disrepair, Abingdon remained a prosperous area thanks to a thriving wool and clothing trade. These goods were showcased alongside fresh produce and handmade specialties at the weekly market – a staple since 1556.

Other local traditions include the famed Bun Throwing at the County Hall Museum. Taking place for the last 400 years, this celebration is usually held on coronations or royal marriages. Council dignitaries stand from the roof of the museum and throw buns to the crowded market square below.

With a proud heritage, Abingdon has managed to blend its historic character with modern convenience. It remains a vibrant market town, but attracts young professionals thanks to the newly formed business and science parks.
