The character of Banbury
The town centre around Castle Quay and the Market Place is largely pedestrianised, with vehicle access limited to specific loading windows and a small number of through-streets. Business parks near Junction 11 of the M40 are modern and straightforward, purpose-built with their own access roads. Banbury Cross itself sits on a busy junction rather than a quiet square, which surprises visitors expecting the postcard version.
