Let's take a trip to the great British countryside and let's visit some stunning and almost untouched architecture.
We will kick off with a walk through the grounds of Blenheim Palace, Churchill's family home and a filming location for Harry Potter, before we walk the cobalt streets of the beautiful town of Woodstock, a Unesco world heritage and a famous Cotswold village site where you camera will be needed before we head for a hike in the countryside and surrounding woods

HARRY POTTER
Oxfordshire is where a large part of the magic took place.
Oxford itself is the filming location for the Great Hall and staircase as well as the library and many more. You will have the option to visit some of those locations on your own if you would like some free time.

ATTENTION JONIONS!YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DRESS UP AS A HARRY POTTER CHARACTER! :) It is a fun day out after all!

Blenheim Palace is a country house in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. It is the seat of the Dukes of Marlborough and the only non-royal, non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace. The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and 1722, and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Sir Winston Churchill, the famous prime minister was born at Blenheim Palace in 1874. Grandson of the 7th Duke, he was also a close friend of the 9th Duke and Duchess. Winston spent a considerable amount of time at the Palace throughout his life and proposed to his wife Clementine in the Temple of Diana. This will be a day out where we will step in history and beauty.
After a stroll we will walk all the way to Oxford, one of Britain's best preserved and most attractive towns and home to the famous university where we will have a peak at all the landmarks. See bellow for a bit of history.
