Banbury, Administrative division in Oxfordshire, England

Banbury stands along the River Cherwell in northern Oxfordshire, serving as a central administrative hub with a population of 54,335 residents.

The settlement dates to Saxon times, appearing in the Domesday Book of 1086 and developing into a wool trading center during medieval times.

The town maintains the Banbury Flower and Garden Festival, where local residents display their horticultural achievements throughout the growing season.

The railway station connects travelers to London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Bournemouth through regular train services on multiple national routes.

Western Europe's largest cattle market operated in Banbury until 1998, when the site transformed into residential developments for the growing population.
