I took three young grandsons to the Pottery Place on a hot Sunday afternoon and we could not have been made more welcome! The staff were all friendly and we were helped in making family presents which will be valued by family member for years to come!
2. Minster Lovell Hall & Dovecote

SO PICTURESQUE! Lots of history, fascinating to "read" the remains of the buildings to see how the house changed. Wander around to the dovecote, it's been open to go inside on some of my visits over the years. Good interpretation boards. Love the stories about Lord Lovell, locked in the cellar and starved to death. Church is quite special, but Bampton or Burford are better.

Other reviewers have got it right; this is a great little museum, and incredible value for money. Staffed by volunteers who obviously love their task, is a museum that will appeal hugely to a certain type of person. It takes us back o the days when buses were more full of character than they are today, and when each city or large town had its own bus company. It is a nostalgic journey amongst old friends (for those of a certain age). The buses have obviously had many hours of loving attention lavished on them, as they appear to be in as-new condition. If you choose your day right (1st and 3rd Sundays and some school holidays) you might get a ride on one of them. We did, and it wasn't just a little potter down the yard, but a half-hour journey round Oxford airport! All included in the £5 a head price! The Morris Motors Museum is also well worth seeing. I couldn't believe that one 1960s car had not been restored, so pristine is its condition. You also gain an understanding of the great man, William Morris - Lord Nuffield

Well done the Coffee Shed team for opening over this difficult time. Great to have our morning fix of great coffee and the occasional bacon buttie! The social distance measures have been so professionally managed and considering the weather and the demand you have always had a smile on your faces. Tried the special Friday night pizza’s, two for £8, delicious Thanks again
5. Cogges
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 265 reviews
Cogges is an historic farmstead and great day out in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, with over 15 acres of beautiful grounds and farmyard to explore. Cogges dates back to the 10th Century and today you will find this unique place brought to life with the sights, sounds and smells of a lively farmyard. The site of the first manor house is surrounded by a Norman moat and is now the location for a timber play fort and adventure playground - great fun for children of all ages. More recently, Cogges is the location for filming of Downton Abbey - home of Mr Drewe the tenant farmer of Yew Tree Farm.

6. North Leigh Roman Villa

This place was very close to one of the B&B's I was staying at, otherwise , I may not have visited, but I was glad I did. It is a good walk and you need to wear flats shoes, a little muddy and certainly stoney especially if its been raining. The overall site was Excellent but I found the housed Mosaics facinating to think it had survived all those Hundreds of years. The colours were very distinguishable and very vibrant. I would recommend everyone and children to visit this site. Well, worth the walk.

f you are used to cinemas from famous chains ((Odeon, Vue...etc), you certainly know Cineworld. However, the Witney branch is like no other! I have been a faithful member of this cinema for the past 10 years, and I can honestly say that the many staff working there are providing a service beyond their pay and status. Smiling, courteous and serving you the biggest help of pop corn you have ever seen! They are patient and accommodating and the actual place is cosy and warm. A great cinema experience everytime I go...I cannot recommend this cinema branch more for any tourists or nearby Witney dwellers.
