Foodie heaven in Surrey
Oxted is a very welcoming town, with a feast of food and drink festivals, traditional pubs and artisan markets providing good cheer. The cracking Oxted Beer Festival is like a pint-sized Glastonbury, while Oxted Country Market, held every Thursday, serves up homemade cakes and jams. The town also has an offbeat side - it hosts an annual charity pram race every July.
