NOT only is the Bignell Park Hotel situated in some of the most beautiful countryside in England, it is also an ideal location for reaching and exploring some of the oldest and most fascinating places in the country.

The Cotswolds are renowned for their beauty. It is a place of enchantment and romance, from the mystery of the ruins of the Minster Lovell Hall to the regal splendour of Blenheim Palace, from the time forgotten village of Great Tew to the confident historic market town of Chipping Norton.

Gently rolling hills, sheep cropped meadows, dry stone walls and willow banked rivers. Many opportunities for walks which take in villages of honey coloured stone with traditional pubs and village shops - and a friendly welcome.

3 miles to the north of the hotel is the town of Bicester. It has a traceable history of over a thousand years and was recorded in the Domesday book. It is a busy market town and now home to Bicester Village - the designer outlet shopping village.

10 miles to the South is the stunningly beautiful university town of Oxford, with its many ancient colleges clustering in its centre, outstanding museums and gardens and its enduring traditions, and is one of Britain's busiest and most popular destinations.

Less then 10 miles away from the hotel is the magnificent Blenheim Palace, home of the Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

But it's not only places of beauty and interest that are in easy reach of the hotel.

Silverstone, the home of the British Grand Prix, is only half an hour's drive from the hotel. Plus, the hotel is only 5 miles from the M40, making both London and Birmingham easily reachable within 1 hour's drive.

All-in-all, the Bignell Park Hotel is perfect for exploring the best of England.
