VegetarianVisitor Guide to Thames Valley and the Chilterns

Vegetarian friendly accommodation, restaurants & eating out in Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Oxford and Bedfordshire

Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Oxford , Bedfordshire

 Some would claim Oxford is the intellectual epicentre of Vegetarian thinking.  Certainly Oxford university has invested much time and effort into studying the diets of  vegetarians and vegans to find clues to prove scientifically that a vegetarian diet is far healthier than the diabetes ridden , heart diseased, carciogenic pathway that  the average person slides down.

Reading too has a thriving vegetarian community and plays host to a Thames Valley  festival of world music amongst others. Berkshire also hosts the tourist's playgrounds of Windsor Great Castle, a country residence of the Queen and also Lego land  that saves you the long trip to Denmark to play with nobbly plastic bricks.

Elsewhere you are in the depths of cattle rearing country but with the help of Vegetarian Visitor you can still stumble over vegetarian excellence to sleep or eat in empathetic comfort .
