Rousham House is a particularly attractive, privately
owned house which has been in the same family for over 500 years.
It has exceptional gardens running down to the River Cherwell
which were landscaped by William Kent in the late 17th Century.
It is likely to be a popular visit with wives, partners and
friends of V8 members with a relaxed drive reaching Rousham
by mid morning, then an opportunity for a guided tour of Rousham
House and a visit to the gardens where you can enjoy your picnic
lunch. The house is only open to special tour groups
by prior arrangement so in the morning a guided tour of Rousham
House has been arranged for V8 members.
Please note:
Rousham House has no catering facilities so you will need to
bring morning coffee and refreshments together with a picnic
lunch. Clearly having a picnic in the gardens will depend on
fair weather so be prepared for alternative arrangements if
the weather is inclement. There are toilets adjacent to the
car park.
Garden opening
times are from 10.00am to 4.30pm. No dogs or children
under the age of 15 years are admitted.

The gardens at
Rousham House in Oxfordshire are a wonderful sight.
More details of Rousham House and gardens are available at www.rousham.org
Timing for the day
Please arrive from 10.00am in time to assemble at
the main entrance to the house for the special guided tour
of Rousham House which will begin at 11.00am prompt.
Friends
are welcome to join your visit to Rousham and the guided tour.
Booking a place on the guided tour is necessary for both V8
members and friends.
House Tours take about 40 minutes and can take up to 50 people
on a tour by splitting the group in half and using two guides.
The guides will guide their groups in opposing directions around
the House without meeting until at the end of tour when the
groups will converge in the Hall.
Following the guided tour of the house most members will wish
to visit the the magnificent gardens either before or after
their picnic lunch. There is very limited shelter if
there is inclement weather. |
