Oxford in June – Part 1

 This was our second visit to Lincoln Farm Park. It is one of the ‘top notch’ caravan sites in UK and can be found in the ‘Best of British’ caravan book. The site itself is situated in the pretty village of Standlake, west of Oxford.

In the nearby covered market there were a variety of interesting shops.
These two photos were from the cake making shop.

One of our visits was to Buscot Park, the family home of Lord Faringdon, who looks after the property on behalf of the National Trust. In the house the family collection of pictures, furniture, ceramics and objets d'art, known as the Faringdon Collection, is displayed.
The house was built between 1780 and 1783 for a local landowner, Edward Loveden Townsend.
We were surprised to find these Terracotta Warriors (copies) in the garden. Spot the odd one out!
