Woodstock in Oxfordshire is a good place for a relaxing weekend with a visit to Blenheim Palace (a World Heritage Site) and walks through the magnificent Blenheim Park - that Randolph Churchill considered the 'Finest View in England'.

Happy walking

The countryside is a mellow yellow


What a contrast! The bright yellow of the flowering rape
and the deep blue of the cloudless sky.

Walking Weekend: Pre-history in the Cotswold Landscape

Don't miss this opportunity to explore the Cotswold Landscape and discover its rich legacy of prehistoric sites - some over 5000 year old - from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st November.

We'll visit the Rollright Stones discover their origins together with the myths and legends surrounding them and take a walk through the Swells to see Neolithic long barrows and Bronze age monuments on private land.
