How the day runs

The chauffeur brings you to the entrance of Rousham House and stays close for the return. If you want lunch away from the house, Remont is about 26 minutes from the gates. A second house, Blenheim Palace, lies 9.3 miles away. The way back to Heathrow Airport is about an hour and 8 minutes — and the car can drop you at the terminal for an evening flight.
