About

Abingdon Town & West encompasses the historic core of one of England's oldest towns, situated on the banks of the River Thames. The area is defined by its medieval street pattern and the presence of ancient buildings, including the remains of a former Benedictine abbey. The central market square continues to function as a focal point for local commerce and weekly trade, surrounded by traditional stone and brick structures. Its geography is firmly tied to the river, with bridges connecting to surrounding meadows.

The western section extends towards more residential neighbourhoods and the grounds of the former Royal Air Force station at Dalton Barracks, which influences the local economy. This part of the Vale of White Horse includes areas of open farmland and paths leading to the nearby Sinodun Hills. The confluence of the River Ock with the Thames here is a notable landscape feature. Community life is anchored by local schools and the long-standing tradition of the annual Bun Throwing ceremony from the county hall.
