September is the most popular time to visit Abingdon, attracting travellers seeking a blend of historic charm and outdoor experiences. The peak season extends from July to September, when the pleasant summer weather invites exploration of Abingdon's picturesque streets and the beautiful River Thames. During this period, visitors can enjoy a range of activities, from leisurely walks along the riverbank to discovering the town's rich heritage at landmarks like the Abingdon County Hall Museum.
In summer, temperatures typically hover around 20-25 degrees Celsius, creating comfortable conditions for sightseeing and outdoor dining. This is the great time to enjoy the local cafés and restaurants that spill onto the streets, allowing for a delightful al fresco experience.
For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, consider visiting in December. It's cooler, with temperatures often falling to around 5 degrees Celsius, this month offers a unique charm with festive decorations, local Christmas markets, and a quieter atmosphere.
