The National Trust which was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill and today is probably the world’s leading conservation body with hundreds of houses under its steward ship as well as 700 miles of coastline and many acres of important landscape in England & Wales. Upton House is one of their properties.
Upton House belonged to Walter Samuel, Viscount Bearstead. In the 1930's he was one of the richest men in the world and this was his weekend house bought to entertain and go hunting. It is on the edge of the Cotswold’s, between Banbury and Stratford-upon-Avon. If going by car go from either junction 11 or junction 12 on the M40 and you will pick up the distinctive brown direction signs with the Nation Trusts oak leaf symbol. This is a delightful corner of Oxfordshire with picture postcard villages with hugely attractive thatched cottages with the thatch contrasting with the reddish / brown local Hornton stone.
This cache is placed along one of the nearby footpaths, so please take your time and enjoy the lovely scenery.
