Regions (England)

 
 

The county has a major tourism industry. The area is noted for the concentration of performance motorsport companies and facilities. The main centre of population is the city of Oxford. The county has two universities, significantly the University of Oxford and also Oxford Brookes University, both located in Oxford. Arguably the most famous building in Oxfordshire is Blenheim Palace at Woodstock. It was built by the great architect John Vanbrugh for John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, after he had won the battle of Blenheim. The gardens, which can be visited, were designed by the landscape gardener "Capability Brown", who planted the trees in the battle formation of the victorious troops. In the palace, which can also be visited, Sir Winston Churchill was born.
