Belated birthday weekend: 4×4 off roading and The Falkland Arms at Great Tew

Just back from a lovely weekend in West Oxfordshire with Phil. He’d bought me a ‘Driving Experience’ voucher for my birthday, and I finally got around to working out what and where: a half day 4×4 off roading in a Landrover Discovery courtesy of Vision Motor Sport, which I did this Saturday afternoon.

We stayed at The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, a fantastic pub with a great range of beers, whiskey and fruit liqueurs – and only half an hour’s walk from Vision Motor Sport’s site, deep in the countryside of West Oxfordshire. We walked off this morning’s vast fried breakfast doing a walk around Great Tew Estate, admiring the repairs to the dry stone walling and the beautiful views under gorgeous blue skies and warm sunshine. After strolling on via Little Tew, it was back to The Falkland Arms for a pub lunch, two more halves of Wadworth’s Horizon and then back to Charlbury train station with Mick from the excellent Ambassador Taxis.
