Outline Itinerary
After a 90-minute drive from London, your day will commence in the heart of the historic city of Oxford—the home of English education for over 800 years. Tour the most beautiful of the 38 colleges that make up the University. We visit discreet gardens, ancient dining halls and chapels, and locations where some of our leading scholars spent their most informative years.
We then make the short journey to the charming Cotswold village of Woodstock for lunch, saving the magnificence of Blenheim Palace for later. The size and scale of the Palace is truly remarkable. Designated by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site, the Palace is an oasis of history and achievement. Blenheim was the gift of Queen Anne and a grateful nation to the 1st Duke of Marlborough for his great victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. The Palace’s design reflects the triumphal mood from the military symbolism, the war trophies on the colonnades to the scale of the heroic Grand Bridge. England’s greatest gardener, Lancelot “Capability” Brown designed the great lake and hanging beech woods beyond, to look so effortlessly natural.
Birthplace to Sir Winston Churchill and still very much a family residence, Blenheim is perhaps our most magnificent stately home.
Tour through the beautiful Chiltern countryside on the return journey.
