Brideshead Revisited: Oxford to Venice
Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited is set in Oxford, at a fictional country house played on screen by Castle Howard, in Venice and at London's Savoy Chapel. It follows Charles Ryder, who is drawn into the family of his friend Sebastian.
This route visits Hertford and Christ Church in Oxford, the Yorkshire house that played Brideshead, the Venice palace used by the 1981 serial, and the Savoy Chapel. Brideshead itself is fictional, so some pins mark filming stand-ins.

Charles Ryder arrives as an undergraduate reading history, at a college the novel makes "very similar to Hertford College". Waugh studied at Hertford and put his hero there. Hertford is also tied to the night Sebastian, returning from a Bullingdon Club bender, vomits through a ground-floor window. The 1981 television serial filmed its Oxford scenes largely here. The college stands on Catte Street, opposite the Bodleian Library.
Precisión del lugar: The novel names no real college; Hertford is where Waugh studied and where the serial filmed.
Para el visitante: Opposite the Bodleian Library on Catte Street; check the college's opening times before visiting.

Sebastian takes Charles to his family's palatial country house, Brideshead Castle. The novel places it in Wiltshire, but it is fictional. On screen it is Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, 15 miles north of York, designed by Vanbrugh. It played Brideshead in the 1981 serial and again in the 2008 film, which shot here in summer 2007.
