Eynsham, a thriving village on the north bank of the Thames just five miles from Oxford, and on the edge of the Cotswolds, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. It has a butcher shop, a pub, and a village store, among other amenities. Canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, golf, and fishing are all available right from the village. With its 38 colleges, the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, the Botanic Gardens, and museums, Oxford, England's oldest university city and nicknamed "The City of Dreaming Spires," has a lot to offer visitors. Oxford also hosts numerous festivals and markets. The River Thames, the River Cherwell, and the many individual shops, riverside pubs, cafes, and ancient buildings of this charming city are all worth a visit. Many walks around the Capability Brown landscaped parkland, great lake, and the lovely village of Woodstock can be enjoyed at Winston Churchill's ancestral home, Blenheim Palace, a World Heritage Site. Thousands of people flock to Henley on Thames each year to watch more than 200 races at the charming Royal Regatta, which is held there every year. Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, Warwick Castle, and Royal Leamington Spa are all great options for a family day out, while the Cotswold Wildlife Park, one of the most beautiful in the country, is a must-see.
