Welcome to wantage.com

Wantage in Oxfordshire is a lovely small market town in the Vale of White Horse, and has a good range of shops and services, including plenty of places to eat and drink.

Links with the past are very strong too and Wantage is a great place to visit to enjoy this historic part of England.

Of particular note in the town are the Vale and Downland Museum in Church Street, Wantage, the 13th century parish church and the Market Square with its statue of King Alfred (born in Wantage in 849AD).

A market is held every Saturday and Wednesday and is well worth a visit. If you are a walker, then try the ancient Ridgeway; it is only a couple of miles to the south.
