Woodstock is a charming small market town, most famous for
being the home of the Dukes of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace. From mid-February until early December the house is open daily (check link below for exact timings). The magnificent Capability Brown-designed grounds are open throughout the year.
Besides having many delightful individual shops (including a
large number of antique shops), Woodstock is also endowed with a wide variety of eating places, ranging from the renowned Bear and Feathers hotels, through French, Italian, Chinese, Indian restaurants, to centuries-old charming English pubs.
Bladon (Winston Churchill's burial place) is one mile away,
Oxford 8 miles and Stratford approximately 30 miles. There is a frequent bus service to Oxford (every 30-minutes during the day) and a convenient park-and-ride facility close-by.
Woodstock is also well located for exploring the Cotswolds. In
fact, a year-round destination, ideal for short winter breaks as well as an overnight touring stop. |
