Broughton Castle
Broughton Castle from Heathrow Airport
Straight from Heathrow to Broughton Castle. The drive is about an hour and 10 minutes and 70.0 miles, by the M4, M25 and M40. This is a medieval manor house in Oxfordshire. Rooms include the 14th-century Great Hall, Oak Room, portrait Gallery and a chapel consecrated in 1331. The castle hires out for feature films, TV dramas and commercials. London Oxford Airport is the nearest of the main airports by road, about 45 minutes' drive (28.6 miles).
How the day runs
The chauffeur follows the flight and is waiting in arrivals, so the day starts as you clear the hall. Most parties take a luxury people-carrier for the extra room. The chauffeur brings you to the entrance of Broughton Castle and stays close for the return. The nearest hotel on our list, Villiers Hotel, is 26.9 miles off. Upton House is about 21 minutes on, if the day has room for a second house. The way back to Heathrow Airport is about an hour and 13 minutes — and the car can drop you at the terminal for an evening flight.
