Oxfordshire specialises in well-heeled market towns, and Thame is one of the prettiest.
In its distant past it was a fortified town in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex, and now it’s a very comfortable place to pass a few hours.
Traditional amenities like butchers, bakers, tea rooms and pubs share Thame with posher boutiques and eateries.
Be here on Tuesdays for what many agree is Oxfordshire’s best outdoor market, likened to an outdoor delicatessen, with local fruit and vegetables, cakes, chutneys and a host of other home-made delights.
