Bibury

Our first stop is in the delightful village of Bibury with its famous collection of houses known as Arlington Row. After meeting your friendly driver and expert guide in Southampton, please take your seats on our luxury coach as we depart northwards into the delightful and much loved Cotswold region of England, famous for its honey coloured stone villages and leafy valleys. Your local guide has a wealth of information about this beautiful part of the world. Learn of the wool trade and how it played an important role in the shaping of the history of the area, and hear how the regions decline as a cloth producer saw the Cotswolds become a sleepy backwater, frozen in time.

25 min

Burford

We then drive along meandering lanes and rolling hills to the beautiful village of Burford, where the ancient stone cottages seem to cascade down to the River Windrush. After a guided walk through the town to see the ancient church of St John the Baptist, we will enter a traditional Cotswolds tavern, built in 1402, for a classic pub lunch.

115 min

Oxford

After our lunch in Burford, we head on to the historic city of Oxford. Here, your guide will provide you with an hour long walking tour of some of the city's most famous university buildings, cloisters and quadrangles, including entry to the Divinity School, the oldest original purpose-built structure of the university. You'll also have the chance to see the Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Camera. After the tour, enjoy an hour of free time to explore at your own leisure before returning to the coach to finish the day with a drop off at your designated address in London or Heathrow.
