Cotswolds, Bath, and Oxford: 2-Day Tour from London

Experience 2 days of remarkable England, taking you from the very recent to its very ancient past.

Day 1

Leave bustling London and head west to the village of Avebury, where you can marvel over the world's largest stone circle (not Stonehenge!) which is an official World Heritage Site – make sure to bring a camera.

Further along, you'll be escorted to Lacock Village in the rural area of Wiltshire, which might be recognizable to you as a TV and film location. Its quaint setting, historic architecture, and lovely streets make it ideal for a lovely stroll down to the heart of the village, where you can see The Abbey, a unique country house of various architectural styles.

After an afternoon in the Roman relics of Bath, continue to the heart of the Cotswolds: Cirencester, where you can grab a much-needed night's sleep in one of the small, locally-owned, charming guesthouses or B&B's. Rest well, for there is more to see tomorrow.

Day 2

After your complimentary breakfast, feel free to explore the Cotswolds' countryside, water meadows, ancient villages, and “antique” marketplaces. You will also journey to Bourton-on-the-Water, also known as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, a must-see for anyone visiting the area. A jaunt over to the beautifully-named Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the area with picturesque homes.

Before you return to the modern world (London), be sure to take your final photos in Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. This 2-day sojourn will be immortalized forever in your photo album, or at the very least, in your memories of what “jolly old England” truly used to be like.
