Visit The City of Oxford with an afternoon visit to Blenheim Palace, Black Cab Tour
Visit The City of Oxford with an afternoon visit to Blenheim Palace, Black Cab Tour:
Oxford
Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, boasts one of the worlds greatest - and oldest - universities, as well as some of the finest architecture in Europe. The colleges themselves, which make up the university, are amongst the architectural highlights, their ivy-clad stone walls protecting beautiful chapels, halls and libraries. We enjoy a unique tour which journeys through the heart of this ancient building before we head to the colleges spectacular dining hall, chosen as a key location in the Harry Potter films.
Our tour allows us to access parts of the hall usually out of bounds to the public. We will also linger by the open fire as your guide reveals anecdotes about the movie and the remarkable links of Christchurch with the Alice in Wonderland stories. Before visiting Christ Church you can even take tea in the shop where the real-life Alice bought her sweets! Our trip to Oxford promises an unforgettable experience for young and old alike.
Blenheim Palace
The Palace and its Formal Gardens and Park were created a World Heritage Site in 1987 and a great deal of restoration and conservation work has been undertaken in recent years despite the fact that we do not currently receive any external funding support. This year two major projects will take place: the repair and redecoration of every window in the Great Hall, and the restoration of the South Front steps of the Palace.
Your visit makes an important contribution to the ongoing restoration and conservation programmes which are necessary to ensure the Palace and its wonderful grounds are preserved for future generations.
We are very proud to be a member of the Treasure Houses of England - a collection of the finest heritage properties in the Country. We hope that your visit to Blenheim Palace will inspire you to visit these magnificent houses and you will find details of the Treasure Houses group by visiting
