Many of the traditions, however, will only make sense to people who have lived here.
Here are five unique things that only people in Oxfordshire do, that outsiders think is bizarre...
1. Catching buns
This quirky tradition is exclusive to Abingdon.
Ever since the 1761 coronation of King George III, Abingdon has marked major royal occasions by hurling thousands of buns off the roof of its County Hall to crowds in the Market Place opposite.
The council leaders hold a vote when a royal event is announced to decide if councillors in full ceremonial robes should throw around 4,000 currant buns at chanting crowds.
