The greatest city in the world, dreaming spires and honey stone villages, a stone circle older than the pyramids and a Georgian spa town, England, the famous bits and the storybook ones.
Into London, eight million people and two thousand years of history. After the flight we keep it easy, a first pint in a proper pub, a stroll past a floodlit Westminster, an early night before the city proper.
Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels; a cruise down the Thames. An evening at a West End show.
The British Museum and its Rosetta Stone, the markets of Borough and Portobello, Covent Garden and Soho, a black cab tour of the secret city. Afternoon tea, and the skyline from the Shard at dusk.
A morning at Windsor Castle, the Queen's weekend home for a thousand years, or the museums of South Kensington and a wander through Notting Hill and Kensington Gardens. A last great London dinner.
West to Oxford, the dreaming spires and ancient colleges (and a Harry Potter dining hall), then into the Cotswolds, honey stone villages, dry stone walls and country pubs. Bibury, Bourton on the Water, and a manor house welcome.
Blenheim Palace, Churchill's birthplace and a baroque masterpiece, the antique towns of Stow on the Wold and Burford, a gin distillery or a farm shop lunch. The most picture perfect countryside in England, at a Sunday afternoon pace.
South across Salisbury Plain to Stonehenge, the prehistoric stone circle that has puzzled the world for 5,000 years, and on to Bath, the honey coloured Georgian spa city of the Romans and Jane Austen, its Roman Baths and the sweeping Royal Crescent.
The Roman Baths and the modern thermal spa, the Pulteney Bridge and the Circus, or a day to the chocolate box villages of Lacock and Castle Combe. A last English Sunday roast to send you off.
A last full English breakfast before the transfer to the airport via Bristol or back to London. England gives you world class culture and storybook countryside in one tidy island, mind the gap, and come back soon.
Three ways to do the same route: Comfort, Premium or Luxe. Breakfasts in. Mix tiers city by city if you like, it is your trip.
Priced to your dates, your hotel tier and how the two of you like to travel. Ask, the first answer usually lands within minutes.
