“Roads are made for journeys and not destinations.”
For centuries, Banbury was noted for its ale, cheese, and Banbury cakes, a spiced currant pastry. Part of the original 16th-century cake house remains, together with several timbered and stone houses.
Today, Banbury is a lively town with a thriving commercial core and you'll find charming streets and historic buildings alongside new developments here - such as the Castle Quay Shopping Centre in the recently regenerated Oxford Canal area.
However for many people the first thing that springs to mind when Banbury is mentioned is “Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross”. In fact, the “fine lady” from that beloved nursery rhyme (some say it was Lady Godiva, some say Elizabeth I) is immortalised as a statue in the town centre. As for the Banbury Cross, the original was destroyed in the late 1500s, but a replacement erected in 1859 still stands today.
Banbury is a wonderful place for a short break, and the perfect base for exploring the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside
As you can see we are taking you to Banbury using the A423 Oxford Road from coventry. It was a morning drive during rush hours.. so we had to use some of the country roads to avoid this traffic.
Overall it was a beautiful trip like previous ones .
So enjoy your this episode while awaiting the next one.
Thank you
