Sleep Wild

Working up an appetite for your barbecue back at base should be easy around here, as Cropredy has plenty of options for walks, including the Oxford Canal towpath and long-distance trails like the Battlefields Trail and Jurassic Way. There's also a golf course 10 minutes' drive away if that’s your preferred form of exercise. Or perhaps you'd prefer a stroll around a country estate? Broughton Castle (15 minutes' drive), Upton House and Gardens (15 minutes) and Sulgrave Manor (20 minutes) are some of the top choices nearby, or you could head to the stunning Blenheim Palace (40 minutes) if you don't mind a slightly longer drive. A couple of other popular outings nearby are the chance to admire vintage vehicles at the British Motor Museum (20 minutes) and to experience gin tastings or make your own spirit at Castle Gin School (10 minutes).
