Immerse yourself in England's beauty and history on a day trip to Oxford, Stratford and Warwick Castle. You'll travel through the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, an area filled with picturesque English villages, and visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare on this culturally rich excursion.
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.
