A small town it may be, but you'll definitely be able to shop till you drop. Culture lovers should head for The Mill Arts Centre, also on the side of the canal, for a concert, exhibition, performance or just for a coffee and a diet-busting cake. Local bakers still sell the traditional Banbury Cakes, and Banbury Cross, the subject of the famous nursery rhyme, still stands. Banbury is an excellent base to explore villages in the Chilterns and the eastern end of the Cotswolds, such as Hook Norton with its brewery and the picturesque town of Chipping Norton. After a hard day exploring, there are plenty of warm, welcoming pubs in Banbury where you can enjoy some traditional English grub before heading back to your cosy holiday home.
