Many
people will visit Blenheim Palace without actually
venturing into Woodstock itself as the main entrance to Blenheim
Palace is just outside Woodstock itself. If you are visiting
Blenheim Palace, take some time out to venture into Woodstock
as it has a charming centre with many shops, pubs and restaurants.
Known
as the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’ and founded in
1163, Woodstock epitomises the charm and beauty of many Cotswold
towns.
Full of history, the small market town of Woodstock has a
cosy, friendly and some would say upmarket atmosphere. There
are many local traders who are passionate about their businesses.
Woodstock
has an air of sophistication
and provides a superior shopping, dining and ‘staying
over’ experience; a wide selection of exclusive goods
and services offer real value. Woodstock is probably one of
the country’s best kept secrets.
The
three main streets are set out in a triangle with free parking.
Everything is in easy walking distance, allowing you to browse,
stroll and sample stress-free. There is also a free car park
just a short distance from the centre of Woodstock.
As
well as locally produced goods, Woodstock is full of individually
sourced, unusual and exotic finds from around the world. You
can discover international art, antiques from home and abroad,
stunning silks from the East, as well as stylish clothes from
France. If you are looking for art, furniture, interior design
ideas, or are planning a new kitchen or bathroom, there are
specialist, top quality businesses here to help you. Source
