Charlbury, is a quiet market town of western Oxfordshire.

Today, Charlbury, which is a main calling point on the Cotswold Mainline to Oxford and London has a large commuter population. The fine Brunel-designed station building remains and is one of the points of interest in what is a relatively unspoilt town. Much of its charm lies in its narrow lanes which lead to much of the traffic by-passing its centre. With its proximity to Chipping Norton and Witney, it has escaped overdevelopment and its lack of clear high street leads to an almost village-like atmosphere.
