About Didcot
North of theGoring Gapand south ofOxford, Oxfordshire opens out into a broad plain, overlooked from the south and east by theBerkshire Downsand theChiltern Hills. In the midst of this plain, Didcot once stood out because of its huge coal-fired electricity generating plant, which dominated the skyline. However, it was closed in 2016 and demolished over the next few years. A natural gas-fired plant remains. Didcot was founded because it lies at the point where the Great Western Railway's line north to Oxford andBirminghambranches off from the main line fromLondontoBristolandCardiff. Since then a large military depot, now replaced by a business park, and the power station, have added to the economy. If the above makes you think that Didcot sounds like an inappropriate destination for a touris
