Cotswold Attractions and Nearby Amenities

Winston Churchill's ancestral home, Blenheim Palace, is one of the most magnificent stately homes in the country. The Palace is home to some fine works of art, but the gardens are equally worth spending time in, having been specially designed by Capability Brown. Make sure to take a trip on the miniature railway too!

Nestled in a peaceful loop of the River Evenlode, North Leigh Roman Villa dates back to the fourth century and is little more than ruins today. However, there is one particular reason to come and visit. The villa is home to one of the country's e largest and best-preserved Roman mosaic floors.

If visiting North Leigh whets your appetite for riverside ruins, Minster Lovell Hall is a 15th-century manor house next to the River Windrush. The ruined walls seem to mingle enchantingly with the trees, and the estate has a dovecote.

Lodge Park's unusual claim to fame is that it is the only 17th-century grandstand in England. The building is unique, and the grounds are worth exploring too. This beautiful landscape is home to herds of deer and is an excellent birdwatching country.

Oxford may be famous as the city of dreaming spires, but there are plenty of other attractions to enjoy on a day trip here. Take a punt along the river, or visit the overwhelming collection of treasures and curios at the Pitt Rivers Museum. If you want to see one of the colleges, Christ Church has to be one of the most impressive.

Another must-see town during your stay is Cheltenham, with its beautiful Regency period streets. If you are here during the summer, you are bound to catch a festival; they hold one for everything from science and food to literature and jazz to literature throughout the year. For some top-notch shopping, visit Montpellier to the south of the town.
