Oxford

Start the day with a luxury coach trip to Oxford, home of the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Your guide will show you all the highlights of this university city on a walking tour, including a visit to the beautiful University Church of St Mary the Virgin. Explore the cobblestoned alleyways, the lovely college courtyards and the towering architectural spires before you board the coach for your next stop.

Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon

Head on to the Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon. Keep your eyes open on your drive as you pass through stunning countryside, quaint villages and bustling market towns. In Stratford-upon-Avon, the half-timbered house that is Shakespeare's birthplace (entrance included) is a must-see, along with the rest of the pretty streets which are perfect for a stroll.

Warwick Castle

Feel the huge weight of a medieval sword and try out some of the armour.
