Advantages: Variety of stores selling distinctive products

Disadvantages: None

Located in the centre of Oxford just off the busy Cornmarket Street, the Covered Market is just what it says on the tin, an indoor market. Although this is also slightly misleading as calling it that doesn't really do it justice.

The market has alot of history associated with it & has been open since 1774. It was setup in order to clear up the streets of the various market stalls which existed, & it has been open ever since.

The place contains market stalls as well as small independent stores selling distinctive products different from what's on offer on the main shopping streets. As well as buying fruit, veg & meat from the various butchers, you can also find clothes, shoes & many other products for sale.

One of my favourite outlets is a smoothie place which makes delicious fresh fruit smoothies, very taste & great value.

I just love going for a wonder round this place & seeing what's around. There is always a great atmosphere & the place seems to attract alot of tourists. The covered market has traditionally been open from 9:00 - 5:30 on Mondays-Saturdays, but recently it is now also open on a Sunday.

When you're in Oxford, I recommend that you definetly pop in to this unique place & check it out!

Summary: Definetly worth a vsiit
