Day Trips from Oxford

Prehistoric sites

• Uffington White Horse — a prehistoric hill figure 110 m (360 ft) long, created some time between 1380 and 550 BC and confirmed as Britain's oldest chalk figure. Owned and managed by the National Trust.
• Wayland's Smithy — an Early Neolithic chambered long barrow near Ashbury, on the same hill range as the White Horse and close to The Ridgeway, the ancient trackway across the Berkshire Downs. It is under the guardianship of English Heritage and open all year round.
• Rollright Stones — three monuments on the Oxfordshire–Warwickshire border, 2.5 miles (4 km) north-northwest of Chipping Norton. The King's Men is a stone circle 33 metres (108 ft) across, made up of seventy-seven stones.
• Devil's Quoits — a henge and stone circle south of the village of Stanton Harcourt, a major class II circle henge monument of Late Neolithic date, believed to be 4000 to 5000 years old.
• Wittenham Clumps — a pair of wooded chalk hills in the Thames Valley, in the civil parish of Little Wittenham, with an Iron Age hillfort on Castle Hill. The site is maintained as a Nature Reserve by the Earth Trust.

The White Horse and Wayland's Smithy sit on the same hill range, so they can be visited together.

Houses and palaces

• Blenheim Palace — a country house in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, built between 1705 and 1722, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
