Blenheim Palace is home to the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

Set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the magnificent Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, award-winning formal gardens and the great Lake, offering a unforgettable day out for all.

Blenheim Palace is a unique example of English Baroque architecture. Inside, the scale of the Palace is beautifully balanced by the intricate detail and delicacy of the carvings, the hand painted ceilings and the amazing porcelain collections, tapestries and paintings displayed in each room. On the first floor ‘Blenheim Palace: The Untold Story’ brings to life enticing tales from the last 300 years.

Situated in Woodstock, just 8 miles from Oxford, the Palace was created a World Heritage site in 1987.

Cotswold Wildlife Park is set in 160 acres of parkland and gardens around a listed Victorian Manor House and has been open to the public since 1970.

The Park is home to a fascinating and varied collection of mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates from all over the world and aspires to show animals to people - so that they can come to understand and respect all forms of wildlife; to understand what is special about each species, and how the various species have evolved over very long periods of time, adjusting to survive in habitats from many parts of the earth.

The Park offers a fascinating collection of animals. Many are endangered in the I.U.C.N.'s (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Red Data Books; others are still relatively numerous in the wild, but offer an educational encounter of value.

Foxbury is a very easily accessible family-run farm just off the A40 which produces the finest quality meats for direct sale to local - and passing - consumers in West Oxfordshire and East Gloucestershire. Also on sale is a selection of the best of British produce. Our value for money is as superlative as our quality - compare our prices.

Our meat includes beef, reared via our own suckler herd, lamb from our own flock, and Gloucester Old Spot pork. We also supply farm-reared chicken and duck, all for sale through our own farm shop which incorporates an open plan dedicated butchery. To make things even easier for those who are very busy or unable to come to the shop themselves we operate a conveniently timed home delivery service to our surrounding areas.

All animals and birds are kept to the highest, non-intensive, welfare standards. Although we are not able to actually be organic on our land we practice similar, very definitely free range, clean rearing methods.

There is also a good selection of Hook Norton Brewery branded goods, ideal for presents and a great way to show off your favourite local tipple. The brewer's craft is rooted in antiquity and many of its secrets are on view for all to see in our Brewery museum. Anyone wandering through this astonishing display has the opportunity view traditional methods that have survived for sound, practical reasons.
