Wantage is a historic market town in Oxfordshire, England, located in the Vale of White Horse. The town is notable as the birthplace of King Alfred the Great, one of England's most significant medieval monarchs. This connection is commemorated by a statue in the town's market place.

Originally a Roman settlement, Wantage developed into an important Anglo-Saxon center and later a market town, a status it has maintained since receiving its charter in the 13th century. The town's rich heritage is reflected in its architecture, with numerous historic buildings including the 13th-century Parish Church of SS Peter and Paul.

Today, Wantage combines its historical significance with a contemporary cultural scene, hosting various arts events and maintaining several galleries and cultural spaces. The surrounding area is characterized by the picturesque chalk downs and the ancient Ridgeway path, making it a gateway to exploring the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
