Welcome to Didcot

Is there anywhere as quintessentially British as Didcot? It has an adorable name, an amazing history and those all-important green and pleasant lands. And of course, you can’t talk about its past or its many beautiful sights without discussing its legendary status as a railway town.

Brunel’s Great Western Main Line connected to London Paddington all the way back in 1844 and it remains a beacon to a bygone era today, thanks to Didcot Railway Centre. This family-friendly attraction allows children of all ages to connect with the past through steam locomotives – what better way? Pendon Museum is also a great place to explore, containing three galleries worth of miniature models displaying life back in the 1920s and 1930s.

Away from all this is more opportunities for perfect days out for friends and families of all ages in Didcot’s many stunning parks, rivers and lakes. As you can clearly tell, history and nature are very important parts of life in Didcot. However, that doesn’t mean that the area lacks a more modern side.

Didcot helps power the rest of the country with its power stations and technology centres around the likes of Milton and Harwell. These all help us continue to strive towards an even better future, as do the scientists who work at the likes of Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Culham Science Centre. There are perhaps few places that bring together the old and the new like Didcot.

This is without even mentioning everything that Didcot has to offer the world of sport and art, or the many places to eat and drink which make life here so merry. Didcot is a place of hidden depths. It was once named the most “normal” place in England. We’re afraid to say we have to disagree though, because in so many respects, Didcot is exceptional.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.
