Description
Explore 2 of England's top destinations on this day tour from Bath. Visit Oxford, a city of students, spires, and history, and the Cotswolds, with its cobbled streets, cottages, and ancient pubs.
We all know Bath is beautiful, but you don't need to fret that you're leaving it behind this morning. Why? Because where you're headed is just as stunning, with rich history and incredible architecture. After passing through North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you arrive in Oxford.
She's an old lass, founded in the 9th century. But its her age that makes her beautiful. She's got a lot of memories worn into her roads and buildings. Did you know that she was largely protected during World War II? Hitler wanted to make Oxford the capital of England after defeating it. If that doesn't tell you how striking this city is, we don't know what will.
Here you have time to explore the precincts of the many colleges, climb to the vantage points to admire the skyline, or see the art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum.
Next you stop in Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. This is a proud little market town. The main street is lined with all those quaint properties that you’ve dreamt of owning. You have time here to take in the local charm and hospitality; and if you’re hungry, you can try a traditional English ‘Afternoon Tea’.
Then, you make the short journey to Bibury. This place was described by William Morris as the prettiest village in England, and Henry Ford wanted to dismantle it and ship it back to the USA. You have time here to stroll to the famous and fairytale-like Arlington Row.
After a full day exploring the city of Oxford and the villages of the Cotswolds, you embark on the comfortable return journey to Bath.
This route may be reversed on some occasions.
