Blenheim Palace
The tour starts with a visit to Blenheim Palace - a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. The stunning State Rooms are brimming with priceless works of art and magnificent tapestries. The Palace is still inhabited today by the Duke of Marlborough.

You'll get a guided tour of the Blenheim Palace State Rooms where their own guide will bring the history of this fabulous palace to life. Next, you can enjoy a lovely walk in the beautiful gardens. 

The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds region is characterized by attractive small towns and thatched villages of yellow Cotswold stone made prosperous by the historic wool trade.

You will also make a short stop in the village of Bibury, once described by William Morris as "the most beautiful village in England" and see Arlington Row, a row of weavers cottages built of local stone. Then on to Bourton-on-the-Water, the "Little Venice" of the Cotswolds. 

Downton Abbey Village
In the village of Bampton, we visit the street where many scenes from the "Downton Abbey" TV series were filmed. You can see the Church where a number of "Downton" events were hosted, from weddings and funerals to the Downton Fair. Next to the church is Churchgate House which was used as the Crawley family home, and the old Grammar School.
