Eight miles from Oxford on the A34, Abingdon is in the Thames valley where the River Ock flows in from the Vale of White Horse, named after the prehistoric Uffington White Horse. In 1810 the Wilts and Berks canal was built and Abingdon became a key link between Bristol, London, Birmingham and the Black Country. Today, Abingdon is a thriving town with farmers' markets, classic car rallies, live music, and local facilities for sports and river activities.
