Top Places To Visit In Bicester
Introduction
Bicester is a small town in Oxfordshire. It’s known for its market, the priory and the Abbey Church of St Mary the Virgin. Bicester is also close to many other attractions, such as Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle.
Bicester Heritage Centre
The Heritage Centre is a community-owned museum that tells the history of Bicester and its surrounding area, from prehistoric times to the present day. It’s great for learning about local culture and wildlife too!
The Heritage Centre has many interesting exhibits that you can view for free or buy some items from their shop (such as fossils). If you’re interested in buying something unique then I’d recommend visiting their Fossil Shop where they sell fossils dug up by local volunteers in various locations around Oxfordshire!
Bicester Village
Bicester Village is a great place to visit, and not just because it’s home to some of the most delicious food in the county. The village also has plenty of things to do while you’re there, including shopping and eating at some of Bicester’s best restaurants.
If you have kids with you, they’ll love exploring this beautiful area by themselves or with an adult guide. You can even rent bikes at one point along your route!
Bicester Village Museum and Art Gallery
Bicester Village Museum and Art Gallery is a free to enter museum that has a small collection of local art. The building itself is stunning, built in 1822 as a private home but converted into a museum over time. It’s open from 10am to 4pm Monday through Saturday, but if you miss the opening hours or want to catch up on some reading or relaxation, then there is always room for tea at the cafe located inside!
Grapes & More Farm Shop
Grapes & More Farm Shop is a family-run business that has been selling locally grown produce for over 15 years. The shop is open every day from 8am to 6pm and sells a wide range of produce including fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
The shop also offers advice on how to grow your own food at home or in the garden if you are not able to get away from the city on holiday.
The Plough Inn
The Plough Inn is a traditional pub in Bicester, Oxfordshire. It’s a good place to visit, eat and drink at so make sure you check it out!
The food at The Plough Inn is delicious and reasonably priced. If you want to try something new but don’t want anything too adventurous then the burgers are perfect for this! They also have some delicious cocktails on offer as well as beer which means that everyone can enjoy themselves regardless of their age or dietary requirements.
Another great thing about visiting this venue is that it has a variety of seating options including tables outside if weather permits or inside where there are plenty of comfortable seats available either by yourself or with friends/colleagues who come along too! You will also find lots of televisions around which means if you don’t fancy spending hours away from your laptop then there’s no need because everything will still be accessible online no matter where you sit down (even though sometimes people forget)!
The Swan Centre & Museum of Witchcraft
The Swan Centre & Museum of Witchcraft is located in Bicester, a small town that’s home to the world’s largest witchcraft museum. It’s open from 10am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and admission costs £5 per person (under 16s free).
Kitley Hall Country Park
Kitley Hall Country Park
Kitley Hall is a historic house that dates back to the 16th century. The parkland around the house was created in 1815, and it was originally known as Shefford Park because it was owned by Lord Shefford. It became Kitley Hall Country Park when his granddaughter sold it to Oxfordshire County Council in 1965. The grounds include a lake, streams and woodland walks. There are also picnic areas for families with children or groups of friends who enjoy picnics together!
