Sightseeing and Transport

North Oxfordshire has a great history of transport and continues to celebrate its motor and waterways heritage today. If you love classic cars and would relish the idea of seeing those which have appeared in Hollywood films up close and personal, then the Heritage Motor Centre is the place for you! It has the largest collection of British cars and features exhibitions including ‘The Making of British Cars’ for those in search of some behind the scenes action. Also for car lovers, is the Great Bloxham Vintage Vehicle and Country Show during June.

For a picturesque Canal setting why not try Heyford Wharf and Kizzies Bistro with the nearby railway station offering an idyllic view of canal boating. Tooley’s Boatyard, the oldest working dry lock in Britain, however, will also please waterways lovers offering guided tours of its boatyard, workshops and even a trip on a canal boat! In 2007 Tooley's celebrated it's first broadside launch of a narrow boat for almost 90 years.
