Oxfordshire

Today Richard follows the Shell Guide to Oxfordshire, which excluded the famous city and concentrated on the wealth of other sights in the county on offer. He drives to Henley on Thames and visits one of the most famous rowing clubs in the world. He goes behind the scenes of Blenheim Palace and learns how to keep the Duke's bathwater hot by the plumber and calls in to the village of Bampton, which doubles up as the village of Downton in the TV series.
