The Royal demesne of Woodstock was from Saxon to Tudor times the site of a great country manor that served as a great playground for royalty.

Woodstock is a market town with a great number of very old and attractive stone houses. Tradition has it that the famous Bear_Inn dates from 1237. The county museum explains local history and along Harrison’s lane the Leather Glove workshops welcome visitors throughout the year.

One of the main attractions of Woodstock is Blenheim Palace, richly furnished and containing many art treasures, which stands adjacent to Woodstock, in a large park which is always open to pedestrians. Vanbrugh designed the building in 1707 for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and part of the cost was defrayed by parliament in recognition of his victory over the French at Blenheim. The park was landscaped by Capability Brown, who planted trees in groups to represent the Battle of Blenheim and formed a lake from the waters of the river Glyn; a column was erected in honour of the great Duke. In 1874 another famous member of the royal family, Sir Winston Churchill, was born here.
