Exploring Oxfordshire
#exploringoxfordshire
I’ve lived in the city of Oxford all of my life, but I have to admit knowing very little about the surrounding villages and towns that make up the county of Oxfordshire.
This is why I am launching the Exploring Oxfordshire series.
The Exploring Oxfordshire series consists of:
- Ideas for accommodation
- Recommendations for places to eat and drink
- Things to see and do
- General information about the area
- Travel advice to help you plan your day trips
I am also going to be directing much of my efforts to discover and promote small, local and independent businesses, whether they are hotels, shops, cafes, designers or makers.
These types of businesses are the backbone of any community and I believe they should be encouraged, supported and promoted as much as possible.
You can also follow this series on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using #exploringoxfordshire
