About Abingdon

Known for

The County Hall (one of England's finest market halls), the Abbey ruins, the River Thames, bun throwing from the County Hall roof (a genuine tradition), and claiming to be England's oldest town

A little history

Abingdon claims to be the oldest continuously inhabited town in England. The Abbey, founded in 675 AD, was one of the most powerful in England before its dissolution. The 17th century County Hall dominating the market place is one of the finest secular buildings in the county.

Local tip

The County Hall Museum is free and excellent. The Thames Path for riverside walking. The market on Mondays is good. The bun-throwing ceremony happens on royal occasions — genuinely chaotic.
