BLENHEIM PARK CIRCUIT

Up first we have the Blenheim Park Circuit. A magnificent walk around the royal grounds where you can start a picnic on a hot summers day next to the Blenheim Grand Bridge. You'll also get some great shots for the social media at the Column Of Victory and take in the lake views and abundance of wildlife. From there we suggest heading over to to the palace itself to see if you can find any royal jewels!

HARRY POTTER TREE

There are plenty of ancient trees scattered around the grounds of Blenheim, however, none more so famous as The Harry Potter tree! It's said to be over 300 years old and was featured in the Order Of The Phoenix during Professor Snapes flashback scene with Lily Potter. What makes it so special is the gaping hole in its trunk,
which formed completely naturally!

TAKE A BREAK IN THE SQUARE

Grab yourself some ice cream and head over to one of the many benches located in the Woodstock village square. Surrounded by history you can chill out with some home-made ice cream and take it all in while the sun sets (or rises!) and then head back to the Woodstock Arms for some proper pub food and beer!

STOP OFF AT CASTLE COMBE VILLAGE

At the other end of your exciting Blenheim Palace walk you'll come across the beautiful little village of Castle Combe. You'll feel like you've taken a step back a couple hundred years as this country escape stays frozen in time. Walk the steeped streets and take in the fresh country air before heading back through the Blenheim grounds at dusk, where you'll see an array of night time wildlife!

HAVE A WILD ADVENTURE

Lions, tigers and bears.. Oh my! Okay, it may not be free of charge, but we had to put Cotswold Wildlife Park on the list. If you're visiting Woodstock you simply must go and say hi to the rhinos outside the park manor! Here you'll find an astonishing array of exotic wildlife and even a walk-through bat cave! You'll also get a glimpse of a pride of lions and some of some of the only captive red pandas in the world!
