Description:

Leave the hectic pace of London behind and explore the delights of the countryside with an overnight tour of famous towns and villages. With a combination of illustrious history and scenic rural landscapes, you have all the ingredients for a quintessential English experience.

Day 1
Once you're out of London, the green pastures of pastoral England dominate the landscape. At your first stop, see the famous Stone Age monument at Avebury, the largest stone circle in the world.

Continue through idyllic villages to the old Roman city of Bath. Here, you can immediately notice the prevalence of buildings made from honey-colored Bath stone, which gives the city its memorable façades. Engage with its rich history as you wander the charming streets before continuing to Cirencester, right in the heart of the Cotswolds and once the second-largest Roman city in Britain.

Day 2
Explore the magnificent scenery of the picturesque Cotswolds—pretty beech woodlands, rolling meadows, and historic market towns such as Stow-on-the-Wold. Pause at Bourton-on-the-Water, a charming village of waterways flanked by charmingly crafted stone houses. Here, time could have stood still for hundreds of years.

Your final stop is the university city of Oxford, a center of academic excellence for more than 900 years. The series of distinguished colleges offers you the chance to see where some of the greatest minds in history sought their inspiration.
