Oxfordshire

This July, we're opening up the doors after hours, as we invite guests to experience Basildon Park on a summer evening with drinks, canapés and the full attention of our house team.

Visit Chastleton this Summer for a relaxing day at this perfectly preserved hidden gem in the rolling Oxfordshire landscape. Why not try your hand at croquet at the place where it all began.

If you like a classic car, and who doesn't, check out the car club visit schedule at Nuffield Place. Classic car owners show off their most cherished models in tribute to Lord Nuffield, a practical man with a passion for engineering who founded the Morris Motor Company.

Make the most of the summer by camping out under the stars at one of our special places in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire such as Stowe or Buscot. The rangers put on incredible events with campfires, marshmallows and bat walks all on the cards.

Enjoy opera, Shakespeare and David Walliams at West Wycombe Park and Cliveden this summer.

Oxfordshire is perfect for country walking. There are wildflower meadows on the Buscot and Coleshill estate along the river in west Oxfordshire. White Horse Hill offers incredible views over six counties and there are rolling hills for gentle walks on the Greys Court estate in Oxfordshire.

From Lady Brunner's peaceful and intimate rose garden 'haven' at Greys Court to Waddesdon's stunning formal parterres, we have some beautiful summer gardens around Oxfordshire.

We've got plenty of holiday cottages to choose from in this beautiful corner of Oxfordshire, all with great reviews. Or why not try a working holiday and take a break with a difference?

Coleshill's open afternoons start again on 8 April. On the second Sunday of every month, see Coleshill's restored mill grinding grain into flour and explore the secret underground bunker - a replica of the Second World War Operational Base on the estate.

In 2018 we are hoping to open a Conservation Skills Centre at the Model Farm buildings in the centre of Coleshill Village.
