Witney

Spring (Mar–May): Mild, blossom and fresh countryside (roughly 8–15°C). Shoulder season—fewer visitors, easier parking. Enjoy riverside walks, weekly markets and Easter events and craft fairs. Summer (Jun–Aug): Warmest, driest months (about 18–25°C) and peak tourism, especially school holidays. Best for river activities, outdoor dining and summer fairs—Witney’s August feast/ fair and other open‑air events are highlights. Autumn (Sep–Nov): Cooling (10–15°C early, colder later) with colourful riverside walks. Quiet shoulder season—good for budget trips, antiques and harvest/heritage events. Fewer crowds but some festivals and local food events continue. Winter (Dec–Feb): Cold and crisp (around 0–8°C), off‑peak and lower prices. Festive lights, Christmas markets and cosy pubs make for a charming visit despite shorter days.
