Woodstock

Woodstock, eight miles north west of Oxford is often visited for two reasons: Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, and his grave in nearby Bladon. However, Woodstock has much more to offer...

It is a fine Georgian town with a distinct Royal heritage, containing many attractive period buildings: including the 17th century Fletcher’s House, home to the excellent Oxfordshire Museum and the Visitor Information Centre; the 18th century Town Hall; the Church of St Mary Magdalene with its Norman doorway, early English windows and a musical clock, which plays tunes hourly.

Woodstock is renowned for its antique shops but also has an interesting selection of other shops and galleries, as well as some excellent pubs and restaurants.

As well as a short walk around the town - Woodstock Walk (pdf 377k) - there are two other downloads for the Woodstock area:
The Cherwell Valley Ride (pdf 332k) a cycle ride that passes through Woodstock
The River Glyme Walk (pdf 545k) between Woodstock and Chipping Norton
