Woodstock is a small Oxfordshire town of exceptional quality, its principal attraction being Blenheim Palace, the only non-royal and non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace. The town's intimate high street of antique shops, galleries, and boutique restaurants reflects the affluent visitor demographic, and commercial property is extremely scarce and highly valued.
