Oxford, Cambridge and Royal Windsor

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the St. Albans area for four nights.

Enjoy a visit to beautiful Oxford, a city with history soaked into every limestone brick. Leading politicians and scientists, world-class actors, and literary greats have all studied in Oxford's ancient limestone halls and enjoyed a pint in its traditional pubs. Walk in their footsteps and explore some of the city's landmarks such as the 15th-century Bodleian Library, Christ Church, and Ashmolean – Britain’s oldest public museum. If you'd rather hit the shops, the Covered Market is a must-visit with its independent eateries and unique stores.

Discover the magnificent city of Cambridge. With its ancient colleges, cobbled streets and picturesque River Cam, Cambridge’s city centre is the perfect place to explore. Learn more about the city's famous alumni such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Professor Stephen Hawking, or grab a pint at the Eagle Pub where DNA was discovered! The city is also packed with independent restaurants, proper British pubs and a thriving market.

Enjoy a visit to Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world; founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs. It is said to have been much-loved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who spent much of her time at the castle. Highlights of our visit included the richly decorated State Apartments and St. George’s Chapel – the setting of many royal weddings and the burial place of many monarchs.

We spend the afternoon in Windsor. Aside from its Royal connections, Windsor is a lively town in a glorious riverside location, with fantastic shopping opportunities, delightful restaurants and beautiful architecture.
