Around Oxfordshire: Oxford

Oxford lies in the center of the county of Oxfordshire. There are endless possibilities for day-trips around Oxford and its shire, including visits to castles and town markets, tours through the Cotswold countryside, or even, if you've got the stamina, shopping at Bicester's designer outlet village. One recommended trip is a visit to Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Woodstock. You can pop into nearby Bladon village church and see where Winston Churchill lies with his family around him. You could even rent a bike and cycle across Port Meadow or out to Wolvercote and surrounding Oxfordshire villages like Wytham to get a taste of village life and perhaps sample some delicious pub grub at The Trout in Wolvercote. © NileGuide
