Nestled in the beautiful Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, Wantage has an impressive history—it was the birthplace of Alfred the Great and an important Saxon town. The charming centre boasts a mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture with narrow cobbled streets and a compelling array of independent shops, pubs and eateries arranged around the marketplace where lively outdoor markets are still held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
