You have the choice of visiting the house with the famous Blenheim tapestries, paintings, porcelain, sculptures and fine furniture or spending your time in the 100 acres of lovely formal gardens originally designed by 'Capability' Brown. You will take lunch here. After lunch you will travel to the City of Oxford and take a coach journey around the outer parts of the city with full commentary.
