Abingdon-on-Thames has a claim on being the oldest town in England. There was a neolithic settlement here
and archeological evidence of the town becoming established and growing on the site over thousands of years.
This sense of history is all around and clear to see when in town. However, Abingdon is also a modern market town with all the amenities, facilities and services you could want, whether living here or visiting. Add this to the beautiful setting on the banks of the River Thames and you have somewhere really very special.
We love Abingdon and are sure you will too. So get out and wander around the quiet lanes and alleys and make the most of this unique piece of England at its very best!
If you’re ever looking for a charming slice of English history, Abingdon-onThames has plenty to offer. This quaint market town in Oxfordshire is more than just pretty buildings and riverside views; it’s steeped in a fascinating past that goes back thousands of years. Let’s take a leisurely wander through its history...
Older Than Oxford: Abingdon likes to flex its historical muscles by claiming to be England’s oldest continuously-inhabited town. And you know what? It has a decent case! Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of human settlement here from as far back as the Bronze Age, and there’s plenty of Roman influence, too. By the time the Anglo-Saxons rolled in, Abingdon was already an important place.
The town really made its mark in the medieval period. At the heart of this was Abingdon Abbey, one of the most influential monasteries in England. Founded in the 7th century and expanded over the years, the abbey became a hub of learning, culture, and religious activity. Its monks were known for their literary achievements and helped to put Abingdon on the map.
Trouble in Tudor Times: Of course, the abbey’s success didn’t last forever. When Henry VIII went on his Dissolution of the Monasteries spree in the 1530s, Abingdon Abbey was one of the casualties. The monks were moved on, and much of the abbey’s land was sold off or repurposed. Some of the abbey buildings survived, though, and you can still see their remains today, a glimpse into a time when the church held enormous sway over daily life.
Despite losing its abbey, Abingdon soldiered on. The town’s strategic position on the River Thames made it a prime spot for trade. Markets thrived here, and by the Elizabethan era, Abingdon was known for its wool and clothing industries. In fact, it was granted a royal charter in 1556, cementing its status as a proper market town...

Civil War & Beyond: Abingdon found itself in the thick of it during the English Civil War in the 1640s. The town was initially a Royalist stronghold but was captured by Parliamentary forces in 1644. Its location made it a strategic garrison, and soldiers took full advantage of the local supplies. Imagine the streets bustling with troops and the locals trying to carry on with their lives amidst the chaos!
After the war, life in Abingdon settled into a quieter rhythm. The town continued to develop, with industries like brewing and milling taking off. By the 18th and 19th centuries, it had grown into a prosperous little town, benefiting from its riverside location and improving transport links, including the introduction of canals and railways.
A Modern Market Town: In more recent times, Abingdon-on-Thames has managed to strike a balance between honouring its history and moving forward. The town officially added “on-Thames” to its name in 1974 to distinguish it from other Abingdons in the UK, the locals had been calling it that informally for many years.
Exploring Abingdon: There’s plenty to see if you’re visiting. The County Hall Museum (housed in a stunning Baroque building) gives you a great overview of the town’s history. Then there’s St. Helen’s Church, with its striking spire and riverside setting. And, of course, you can’t miss a stroll by the River Thames itself. You might even spot some swans gliding by as you soak up the peaceful atmosphere.
Abingdon’s past is woven into its present, making it a town that feels alive with stories. One example of past and present is the 800-year old tradition of ‘Swan Upping’, which is a significant annual event in the calendar of the royal family. Swan Upping is a ceremony that serves as a method of surveying the population and health of Mute Swans on the Thames. Abingdon is the end point for this survey which takes place during the third week of July every year. If you’re in town, head to Abingdon Bridge to witness this fascinating event for yourself.
Whether you’re a history buff, a fan of riverside views, or just someone who loves discovering hidden gems, Abingdon-onThames is well worth a visit. Who knows? You might even catch a flying bun!

Nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, Abingdon-on-Thames is a town that oozes charm, history, and a delightful dose of quirkiness. Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or just someone in search of a picturesque spot to spend the day, this little gem has plenty to offer. These pages will take you on a quick tour of what to see and do in this delightful riverside town!
Start at the Market Place:
First stop? The Market Place. This is the beating heart of Abingdon-on-Thames, and every Monday, you’ll find a bustling market selling everything from fresh produce to artisan goods.
Even if there’s no market, the square is a great spot to soak in the atmosphere, surrounded by beautiful historic buildings. Don’t miss the County Hall Museum, which stands proudly in the square. This 17th-century building is iconic, and if you climb to the rooftop terrace, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the town and the River Thames.
Speaking of the Thames, it’s impossible to visit Abingdon without spending some time by the water. There’s a lovely riverside walk that offers tranquil views, weeping willows, and the occasional rower gliding by. You can also spot the Abingdon Lock, which is a fun place to watch boats navigate through the locks. Feeling adventurous? Hire a boat and explore the Thames at your own pace!
Abingdon’s Abbey Gardens is one of those places that feels like it’s been plucked straight out of a storybook. Once the site of a grand medieval abbey, these peaceful gardens are now a perfect spot to unwind. There’s a playful fountain, lovely flowerbeds, and plenty of benches where you can sit back and relax...
...Continued from overleaf
For history enthusiasts, there are remnants of the abbey’s original buildings to admire. From here, you can wander into the adjacent Abbey Meadows, which is great for picnics or a game of frisbee. There’s even an outdoor swimming pool nearby during the warmer months.
Abingdon has a great selection of cosy pubs, many of which sit along the river. The Nag’s Head is a firm favourite, set on its very own island in the Thames. It’s the perfect spot for a pint and some hearty pub grub while enjoying the riverside views. thenagsheadonthethames.co.uk
If beer’s your thing, Abingdon is home to Loose Cannon Brewery. Their taproom is a laid-back spot to try some locally brewed ales. They often host fun events like quiz nights and live music! lcbeers.co.uk
Abingdon is a town steeped in history. Did you know it claims to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in England? That’s right!
For a dose of this rich heritage, head to St. Helen’s Church, which was first mentioned in written records in the 10th century. St. Helen’s Church as we know it today dates back to the 13th century when the religious ‘Guild of Our Lady’ financed the building of the Lady Chapel to the south and the main aisle. The church’s interior is stunning, with its high ceilings, impressive stained-glass windows, and fascinating memorials. Don’t miss the Long Alley Almshouses next door, they’re a real step back in time!
If shopping is more your style, Abingdon won’t disappoint. The town’s filled with charming independent shops where you can pick up unique gifts, vintage finds, or even some delicious local treats. Added to that, the town’s cafés are perfect for a tea-and-cake pitstop...

It’s a peaceful nature reserve with trails, wildlife, and plenty of photo ops.
Abingdon loves a good celebration, so if you time your visit right, you might catch one of the town’s festivals or events.
