Kassam Stadium

Oxford United's home ground sits on the edge of the city, a proper modern stadium that's replaced the club's old Manor Ground. If you're a football fan staying at one of the nearby caravan sites like Durham Leys Farm or Cedar Hollow, catching a match here is straightforward enough - though you'll want to check the fixtures calendar well in advance as the U's don't always draw huge crowds.

The stadium itself is functional rather than spectacular. Contemporary design, decent facilities, nothing that will blow your mind architecturally. What matters is whether there's actually a game on. Matchday atmosphere can be decent depending on the opponent, but this isn't a fortress - it's a working football ground where Oxford United battles it out in the lower leagues.

Non-matchday visits are less appealing unless you're genuinely interested in touring the facility. The ground doesn't have the historical weight of somewhere like Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford. You're looking at a 20,000-capacity stadium that's been operational since 2001.

For families staying in the area, it works as a rainy-day option or an evening out if a fixture falls during your holiday. Kids who support the club or enjoy football will get something from it. Everyone else would probably find their time better spent exploring Oxford itself - the university buildings, the Ashmolean, punting on the Cherwell. The stadium's conveniently located for caravan park stays, but it's not a destination in its own right.
