Visitor Advisory: Closure of the Slype Passageway at Abbey Buildings
The historic passageway known as The Slype, located between Thames Street and Checker Walk near the Abbey Buildings, is currently closed to the public. The closure, which began in July 2026, is due to ongoing refurbishment work at the site and is expected to last for at least one year. Visitors are advised to plan alternative walking routes when exploring the area surrounding Abingdon County Hall Museum.
