Our day starts with a visit to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford where we will be having a Guided Highlights Tour of the Museum which will cover their most renowned masterpieces such as the famous Alfred Jewel, treasures of the Italian Renaissance, magnificent Pre-Raphaelite paintings, exquisite Chinese jade and ceramics, Samurai armour from Japan and the finest collection of pre-dynastic Egyptian artefacts outside Cairo.
Lunch (not included) can be taken in either the vaulted cafe in the basement or in the rooftop restaurant on the 4th floor accessed by lift.
After lunch we shall travel on to Stonor Park which is near Henley. Stonor is one of the very few houses in England that has remained in the same family from the earliest records to the present day and has been the home to the Lord and Lady Camoys and the Stonor family for over 850 years.
The gardens offer outstanding views of the Park and valley.
Before departing we will be having tea/coffee and biscuits in the Medieval Hall.
Cost: £64 to include Coach with WC, Private Guided Highlights Tour of the Ashmolean Museum, Entrance and Guided Tour of the house & chapel and Afternoon Tea/Coffee and Biscuits.
