Oxford, Cotswolds, Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Castle Day Trip from London
2011-03-28
Oxford
Your tour begins with a journey across the Chiltern Hills to Oxford, the "City of Dreaming Spires". Oxford's elegant timeworn buildings and courtyards have inspired generations of scholars (including Bill Clinton in the 1970s!). During your walking tour you will see the Bodleian Library and Christ Church College, where Harry Potter scenes were filmed and where Albert Einstein studied.
Stratford-upon-Avon
Next, you'll travel through the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, an area steeped in history and heritage, to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of the famous playwright William Shakespeare. You will visit Shakespeare's Tudor-era home, with its typical parlor, bedrooms, kitchen and buttery.
Warwick Castle
Then it's a short drive to medieval Warwick Castle, whose magnificent towers and ramparts remain mostly intact. You'll travel back through 1,000 years of history as you cross the footbridge to a bygone world of banquets, battles and ceremony. Spend time in the Tussaud's waxworks or, if you're feeling brave, visit the spine-chilling dungeons where prisoners were tortured. You might wish to take a stroll through the castle's lovingly tended gardens, where archery, falconry and jousting take place in the summer months.
Note: Due to the closure of Warwick Castle on the 21st June this tour will visit Kenilworth Castle, one of England's most spectacular castle ruins in Warwickshire, instead.
