A charming market town just 15 minutes’ drive from The Swan, Woodstock is best known as the gateway to Blenheim Palace – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. The palace grounds offer beautifully landscaped gardens, lakes, and seasonal events from flower shows to festive lights. Woodstock itself is a delight to explore with its antique shops, galleries, pubs, and tearooms. It’s the perfect half-day outing for guests who love history, heritage, and peaceful countryside settings. We provide daily drop-off and pick-up services to and from the Swan Hotel.
