 Sir Winston Churchill's birthplace |
Off the A44 from the Oxford by-pass Oxford, Oxfordshire OX20 1PX United Kingdom +44 1993 81 1091 http://www.blenheimpalace.com/ |
This magnificent house has been the home of the Dukes of Marlborough since 1704, when Queen Anne gave a ruined royal manor and dukedom to John Churchill as a gift for his victory at the battle of Blenheim on the Danube. Winston Churchill also happened to be born here - look out for the Churchill exhibition, which includes the bed he was born on, and many personal belongings, including books, photographs and letters. His tomb is in the graveyard of St Martin's church in nearby Bladon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Castle Without Hassle |
3 Oxford Castle Oxford OX1 1AY United Kingdom +1 44 1865 268 400 http://www.malmaison-oxford.co... |
Built in 1870, Oxford Castle, originally known as Oxford Prison, ran as one until its closure in 1996. As the building stands now, you'll be wishing for incarceration here. The underground cells now sport a lush brasserie, and each room occupies the space of three cells - original door and bars included. The cots are now queen-sized beds, and some rooms have baths large enough to float in. The breakfasts are European Continental. Each room comes with its own hi-res flatscreen television. Enjoy your sentence! Review © 2007, Wcities |
