Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire is characterised by a distinguished academic heritage and a picturesque rural landscape, centred around the “dreaming spires” of Oxford University, the oldest in the English-speaking world.

The county hosts the impressive Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the birthplace of Winston Churchill, alongside the gentle limestone hills and honey-coloured stone villages of the Cotswolds.  Beyond its historic appearance, Oxfordshire plays a key role in the UK’s “Golden Triangle,” fostering global innovation through the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus and its leading sectors in life sciences and automotive industries, including the BMW Mini plant.

From the peaceful reaches of the River Thames and the historic Uffington White Horse carved into the chalk downs to the luxury shopping experience at Bicester Village, the county seamlessly blends medieval tradition with modern luxury and research.
