England's Ancient Hearts: Oxford, Cambridge & The Cotswolds

5 Days · Scholarly Legacy and Pastoral Beauty

A tour through quintessential England, tracing its scholarly legacy and rolling countryside. You will walk the historic colleges of Oxford, glide along the River Cherwell on a traditional punt, and browse the ancient shelves of the Bodleian Library.

Midway through the trip, the pace slows in the Cotswolds, where honey-coloured stone villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold reward unhurried wandering. The tour closes in Cambridge, Oxford's great rival, with a guided walk and entry to the breathtaking King's College Chapel.

Accommodation is in boutique hotels and inns throughout, with private transport between every location so you can focus entirely on the scenery and the stories.
