Oxfordshire, Ceremonial county in South East England, GB
Oxfordshire extends over 2,605 square kilometers, containing three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Cotswolds, North Wessex Downs, and Chiltern Hills.
The county began taking shape in the 10th century, with Oxford emerging as a settlement in the 8th century before the establishment of its university in 1096.
The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford presents collections spanning multiple civilizations, while Blenheim Palace stands as a UNESCO World Heritage monument.
The county divides into five administrative districts: Oxford City, Cherwell, Vale of White Horse, West Oxfordshire, and South Oxfordshire, each managing local services.
The River Thames forms numerous valleys across Oxfordshire, with many tributaries creating a network of waterways that shape the regional landscape.
