Bicester
Bicester is a historic market town that is evolving to suit the needs of its 21st century residents. It was mentioned in the Domesday book as Berencestra and sits close to the junction of two important Roman roads – its name translates from the Latin meaning two-fortresses.
The town has been chosen to become a Garden Town; which means it has been earmarked for significant government investment to provide desirable new homes, located in well planned communities with plenty of access to wide open green spaces – with excellent transport links.
