No one really knows how it was named - possibly it resembles a hawk (?) or it is derived from the old English word 'hoare' meaning old or ancient, but it is all guesswork. Local legend has it that witches were chained to the holes in the top and burned to death but there is no evidence of this. Do not put coins in the natural pitts in the stone it increases erosion and damages the stone.

554 acres (224 ha) of glorious parkland await at Blenheim Park, which occupies most of Blenheim Palaces' grounds. The park is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the habitats it supports. Whilst you have to pay to enter the palace and formal gardens, the park's many footpaths are free to enter. You can take a stroll by the lake, explore the woodland areas, or find a tranquil spot for a picnic.

Sloping down to the banks of the River Evenlode, Foxholes Nature Reserve is a beautiful, serene woodland. The best time to visit is undoubtedly springtime, when the ground is carpeted by a dazzling display of bluebells. Tawny owls, badgers and kingfishers are just some of the animals you might see here on the 1.8-mile (2.9 km) wildlife walk. The badger waymarkers point the route ahead.

Free access to the park is available via Park Rd (51.8401582,-1.384567). Free parking is also available near this entrance.
