Thame is a charming, bustling market town with a rich sense of history. In the 12th century, the Bishop of Lincoln, Lord of the Manor, created a new town at Thame with a wide High Street designed to accommodate a market. In the town centre, you'll discover a selection of award-winning butchers, bakers and delicatessens along with specialist retailers and High Street names. For walkers, cyclists and nature-lovers, Thame is perfectly placed to make the most of the beautiful South Oxfordshire countryside. Cuttlebrook, Thames award-winning nature reserve, offers a rich diversity of wildlife and a network of footpaths to explore. The picturesque Phoenix Trail, running along the old railway route from Thame to Princes Risborough, is a pleasant place for an afternoon stroll but, for longer walks, its possible to join the Ridgeway Path, Britains oldest track that runs to the south of Thame on its way from Wiltshire to Buckinghamshire.
