Uxbridge is a large town in the West London Borough of Hillingdon. It runs parallel to the River Colne; a tributary of the River Thames, which acts as a boundary between the neighbouring county of Buckinghamshire. Much of the Uxbridge is pedestrianised and the two indoor shopping centres (Intu and The Pavillions) offer shoppers a wide array of restaurants and retail outlets. The Hillingdon Sports and Leisure Complex boasts a 5m swimming pool as well as indoor facilities for basketball, badminton and football. It also offers free parking for visitors who use the facilities, which is convenient when hiring a car in Uxbridge.
In Uxbridge, you can explore either of the two shopping centres or, if you are feeling more active; the Hillingdon Sports and Leisure Complex boasts an array of sports facilities. If you rent a car in Uxbridge, then the Black Park Country Park is close-by and provides a great day out. Here, there are over 10 miles of well surfaced paths, allowing walkers to explore the beautiful forests and stunning lake set within Buckinghamshire's largest park. For the more adventurous, experience the Tree Top Adventure at Go Ape just 5 miles from the town centre again, just a short drive away if you are renting a car in Uxbridge.
