The county is mainly agricultural in terms of its production, with paper, brick and cement manufacture all apparent.

Famed for its university city of 'Dreaming Spires', the county is also home to the River Thames and its tributaries, the Cotswolds and the Chiltern Hills.

In Bladon, just south of Blenheim Palace, is the resting place of Winston Churchill and Lady Randolph Churchill.
