Dorchester Abbey
Dorchester Abbey is not only one of the finest monastic buildings in Oxfordshire, with a history going back to AD 635, but is also the parish church of the village of Dorchester. It is a place of great calm and beauty which has touched the hearts of many people, whether they come to worship, attend concerts or simply to look around. To everyone we extend a warm welcome.

Dorchester Abbey Museum
The Museum is in two buildings on the Abbey site. The Old Schoolroom is part of Dorchester Abbey’s 14th-century former Guest House and displays illustrations, maps and artefacts reflecting the history of Dorchester and its locality which have been continuously inhabited for over 6000 years. It also houses an archive of Dorchester’s history, available for inspection and research by arrangement, and a souvenir and gift shop. The Cloister Gallery is housed in a pentice built against the north wall of the Abbey in 2001.

Little Wittenham Nature Reserve and Visitor Centre.
If one was to pick a site from which to survey the landscape of Oxfordshire, Wittenham Clumps makes for an ideal spot. Rising to some 400 feet above the relatively flat lands of the county and in a strategically commanding position, overlooking the River Thames, these two almost conical features have long been important to the inhabitants of this historical landscape.
