Now in it's 1000th year, what is your perception of the county of Oxfordshire?

Answer 1

Oxford at least the centre of it around the old university is interesting and attractive; as regards the countryside, parts of Oxforshire are quite flat and dull, but the eastern end of the county near the border with Buckinghamshire within the Chiltern Hills (chalk downs and Beech woods), contains some of the most gorgeous scenery in England. That is to the north of Henley on Thames, which in itself is worth a visit - a pleasant town on the River Thames. If you are a hiker you could walk from Henley along the 'Oxfordshire Way' to the Warburg Nature Reserve at Maidensgrove about 4 miles
north of Henley (Ordnance Survey Landranger Map sheet 175) a beautiful place where you'll see the raptor the Red Kite. You could walk back to Henley from there or on to the small attractive town of Watlington which has regular buses to Oxford. Both Henley on Thames and Oxford can be easily reached by First Great Western trains from London Paddington.

Answer 2

Billy, the questioner said COUNTY not COUNTRY - it's spelled differently.

I don't associate Oxfordshire with Oxford much. Oxford is obviously all about the university, as a town I don't like it very much, it's too busy and not exactly very nice.

Oxfordshire to me is the definition of rural English countryside. I see it as being fairly boring, and home to lots of middle class conservative people. I see it as a place I drive through to get to more important places.
