Day 1 - Arrive at the hotel, which is your base for the weekend.
Day 2 - Oxford and Inspector Morse
After a leisurely breakfast join the coach for
the journey into Oxford where you spend the day; plenty of time for
sightseeing and shopping both in the morning and perhaps later in the
afternoon, although we have included a walking tour of Oxford following
in the footsteps of the great detective Inspector Morse; you can drink in the
same pubs and if you’re not careful, feel the breath of Chief Superintendent
Strange down your neck! The tour lasts about 2 hours leaving you time for
lunch before it gets under way at just after 1.30 p.m.
Day 3 - Blenheim Palace
After breakfast depart for the journey home where on the
way we’ve included a visit to Blenheim Palace, built for the first Duke of
Marlborough, in gratitude for the great victory at Blindheim, a village in
Bavaria, where you'll have the opportunity to see the room where Churchill
was born. Visit the grounds of Blenheim Palace with its lakes spanned by
stone bridges, woodlands, and follies and of course the Marlborough Maze,
the world's largest hedge maze. There also a lot more to see - Butterfly
House, Motor Launch, Adventure Area and Nature Trail, even a train, and
the town of Woodstock at the gates of Blenheim, has old coaching inns and
lots of interesting shops.
