Dorchester today is quiet and retains a charm and antiquity befitting its history. Bypassed long ago the village is a labyrinth of pathways and lanes, between cottages and houses, many of which have remained unchanged for centuries. The village is famous for its antique shops, but it also has a Post Office and grocery store. There are pubs for a quiet beer and an informal meal and two Inns which formerly served travellers on their way to or from Oxford.
This part of the Thames is rich in history, mostly born of conflict since the Thames forms a natural defensive boundary, but notably because of two places where the river could be crossed at Shillingford and Wallingford. Today the small towns of Wallingford, Abingdon, and of course Oxford, are well worth exploring, but many also enjoy a day or two in London, Windsor, Stratford upon Avon, or the Cotswolds. Oxford is a centre for coach and bus travel to all parts of Britain (several coaches each hour to London) but rail and road links too are good. | RENTAL RATES 1 Apr 2005 £350
