: A guide will escort you on an excursion through the beautiful little towns, villages and rolling hills of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire which are used for the filming of Midsomer Murders. Don't expect to see filming in progress but followers of the series may see many familiar scenes and you may visit some places not normally open to the public. Even if you don't follow the series, enjoy a very pretty part of the country. A lunch stop will be taken in Henley-on-Thames, home of the famous Regatta.

Day 3

Travel into the lovely university city of Oxford. The day will start with a gentle walking tour pointing out scenes well known to followers of the Inspector Morse series as well as other literary connections with authors such as CS Lewis. The rest of the day is free to explore Oxford.

Day 4

Staying with the TV theme, we visit Bampton, the village used for much of the outdoor filming for Downton Abbey, then Bladon Church, where Sir Winston Churchill is buried, and magnificent Blenheim Palace. This 2100 acre estate was Churchill's Birthplace and is home to the Duke & Duchess of Marlborough. Finally, we visit historic Woodstock which, with Blenheim, was used in episodes of "Morse".
