Woodstock (Pass by)
Woodstock is Right on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds, just eight miles north west of Oxford. Most tourists never actually see the historic town of Woodstock tucked away off the busy main road, next to the grand and glorious neighbour, Blenheim Palace. Woodstock is more than worthy of a visit in its own right. A medieval ‘new town’, founded to cater for visitors to a royal hunting lodge, Woodstock has a 900 year record of hospitality. The town’s fine Georgian facades often disguise far older buildings that house all manner of fascinating hotels and cafes, shops and galleries.
