Godwin's Caravan and Camping Site

Straighten up your mortar board and get set to mingle with the clever bods of Oxford University – it’s 20 minutes' drive or so to get into the city centre to tour the handsome college buildings and gardens, visit the Ashmolean Museum or see if you can get to grips with the art of punting (at least enough not to be permanently wedged in the riverbank…). Leave the city behind and you’ve not seen the end of the area’s gorgeous architecture: the 17th-century house and walled gardens of Rousham House and Gardens are about 15 minutes away, as is the grand UNESCO-listed Blenheim Palace. Pretty things on a smaller scale can often be found in the designer outlet stores 10 minutes away at Bicester Village; if the idea of a shopping day has you rolling your eyes, perhaps a round of golf (five minutes’ drive) or a race day at Silverstone (25 minutes) will be more to your taste.
