West Oxfordshire District Council
Key Competitive Attractions
West Oxfordshire is one of the UK's most attractive areas, boasting an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and an architectural and historic heritage ranging from Cotswold stone cottages to the splendour of Blenheim Palace, a World Heritage site. The tourism industry thrives here, and is a main contributor to the area's economy. Agricultural and related activities are predominant in the district.
Other advantages of the area include amongst the lowest crime rates in the country, unemployment rates less than 1%, and a prime central location, offering excellent communications to most parts of the country via the A40/M40 and the A34 roads and superb railway services from stations at Charlbury, Hanborough and Kingham, all of which run regular services to London and Birmingham.

The Council provides a variety of support services to help start up businesses and relocating companies, including advice on sources of funding, suitable premises, government funded training schemes and more.
