New map details Banbury's historical buildings and places of interests

The map, which has been put together and published by the Banbury BID team, features a fully accessible route that takes people on a tour of the town’s iconic buildings and places.

Available in a number of locations in town - including the Banbury Museum, Castle Quay information desk and train station - the map features icons to highlight areas to shop, eat, drink, and enjoy, as well as toilets and points of interest.

Steve Kilsby from Guided History Walks will be running a free to attend tour of the map on Saturday May 27. He said: "The fabulous map produced by Banbury BID is going to be a terrific help to me and, more importantly, to the numerous people I see in town looking vain for help to get to places or to find out more about the buildings.

"Finally, we have a map of Banbury's historic centre that really points up the history of the town."

Jasmine Gilhooly from the Banbury BID said: "For us, it's great to have a visual representation of the landmarks of interest in the town that people can explore.

"We didn't list individual businesses because of the ever-changing retail landscape, but visitors will be able to explore our wonderful entrepreneurial businesses along the way."
