Looking at a November CWD/Muntjac hunt out of Oxford. What should my wife and I consider doing/seeing after the hunt?

Buy tickets for Phantom of the Opera at "Her Majesties Theatre". You wife will love it. But, make sure you purchase the tickets as soon as possible as it normally will sell out.

The Tower of London will not disappoint you.

Its a place full of history and interesting places to visit. Hire a car , stay off the motorways and have a ball.

How much time do you have? The falconry centre at Bedford is good.

They have a lot of those around, as falconry is a pretty common thing in the UK.

Ex-girlfriend was a British Falconer, I had a European Buzzard for a long time when I lived in Sicily. She worked at one near Stonehenge. Some options, haven't been to the UK since 2010, so my data is old.

Oxford is full of interesting places to see. Also there is Blenheim Palace just up the road, birthplace of Winston Churchill -

Also within maybe 45 mins is Warwick Castle, well preserved medieval castle although avoid peak tourist times as it gets busy -

There is Bicester outlet village within about 20 mins, wife loves the place but i frigging hate it -

Hope you have a good time here and find a few Munties, elusive little buggers they are.

Oxford and the surrounding country well worth exploring. Lots of little villages and towns all with very good pubs - most serve very good food. Real mix of country from stone Cotswold through to the chalk Chilterns to heavy oak woodland of Thames valley and Otmoor to open downland on the Vale of the Whitehorse and Wantage. Go down towards Cirencester and then down to Wiltshire and Stonehenge.

In Witney, Francis Lovell gunshop well worth a visit, also Jason Abbot at the Swan antiques in Tetsworth.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and time you put into your replies. It is very much appreciated.

Three of the Imperial War Museums are in London: http://www.iwm.org.uk/

What I enjoyed most was the Churchill War Rooms.

Ask your guide to organise a gun for you on a local pheasant shoot.

Take a good look around Oxford, then side trips to some of the Cotswold villages, then Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath.

Try trips to Bath, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, bus tour of London, etc.

Stonehenge?
The Rollright Stones or Avebury Circle are nearer if 5000 year old erections float your boat?

Have to agree with Stonehenge and Bath. Tower of London. Westminster Abbey (Issac Newton's tomb is there). Tons of history.

Enjoy the trip

Visit Holland and Holland, Purdey, Berretta, and have a pub lunch at an "upmarket" pub, Phantom of the Opera, and then get into the countryside ASAP
