Didcot is a town and civil parish in Oxfordshire and the area around has been inhabited for at least 9000 years.
The town's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton made the town of strategic importance to military logistics, in particular during the First World War campaign.
The landscape of Didcot during this early period was completely different from that of today. Instead of the modern enclosed fields, there were three large open areas, known as West, South and North Fields.
There is plenty do in Didcot and it's surrounding areas, one of which is the Didcot Railway Centre.
There is a large collection of Grest Western Railway steam locomotives, carriages and wagons. Steam days and special events throughout the year when you can ride in the 1930's trains.
