Tuesday, September 20 we took the train to Oxford. This is a one night stop, which I try to avoid. Our original plan was to spend 3 nights in the Cotswolds, basing ourselves in Chipping Campden. While there we were going to go to Blenheim Palace, then follow that with 2 nights in Bath. When I discovered how expensive a car would be for the Cotswolds, and a car is definitely desirable there, we changed the plan to one night in Oxford to see Blenheim and 4 nights in Bath.

We checked into our hotel, which was actually a restaurant with some rooms above. Very nice. We then set out to walk around Oxford to see as much as possible. It’s a very nice university town. Of course everyone has heard of Oxford, but it is actually made up of 39 colleges. We went on the grounds of one of them, Christ Church College.

We quite enjoyed our afternoon of exploration. We ate dinner at our hotel and called it a night.
