County at a glance - Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire is a rural county that also holds the university city of Oxford, along with parts of three National Landscapes. Pegasus has one community here, Renaissance Wantage, in the market town of Wantage.
Wantage sits in the Vale of White Horse, with open downland and the Ridgeway to the west. Oxford beckons for museums and a day out, and Didcot handles the trains.
Why retire in Oxfordshire?
-
Oxford’s university museums, including the Ashmolean, have free permanent collections, so a short visit fits easily into a day in the city.
-
The Ridgeway and White Horse Hill at Uffington bring open downland within reach, for walks short and long.
-
Wantage holds markets in the Market Place every Wednesday and Saturday, which gives the week a pleasant shape.
-
The University of Oxford’s short courses and the classes at The Beacon in Wantage give you plenty to try, in town and in the city.
Retirement living in Oxfordshire
Wantage keeps much of everyday life local. The market, the shops and classes at The Beacon, from Pilates to tai chi, can fill a good part of the week.
Oxford and Didcot each have their own role. A bus heads to Oxford for the museums and the Covered Market, and another runs to Didcot Parkway for trains to London Paddington. Downland walks vary in length and gradient, so pick one to suit the day.
Things to do in Oxfordshire
Two from Wantage and two a little further out, each worth getting to know.
Wantage Market Place
Head into Wantage Market Place on a Wednesday or Saturday for the stalls and a wander round the square. Two market days a week, both worth keeping.
White Horse Hill, Uffington
Walk up onto White Horse Hill at Uffington, then follow a stretch of the Ridgeway across the open downs. Wide skies, and room to think.
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Spend an hour at the Ashmolean in Oxford, where general admission is free and the collections span art and archaeology. Easy to visit often, impossible to see in one go.
The Beacon, Wantage
Join a class at The Beacon in Wantage, from yoga to tai chi. Something new on the calendar, right in town.
