The visit to this enchanting University, leaves a deep impression on the visitor. The architectural contrast between the elegant spires, cobbled streets, ancient colleges and green courtyards, cannot be easily forgotten.
After visiting one of the most interesting colleges, the trip continues through the Cotswolds with its gentle hills and old villages. The area is steeped in history, from castles to Manor Houses, Neolithic stones and old cottages, many with a thatched roof. Among them, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, residence of the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill who is buried nearby
After this drive through the enchanting small towns of the Cotswolds, (one of the most beautiful parts of the north of England), arriving in Stratford Upon Avon, the scenery is breathtaking. This jolly, doll-like little city, is still partly as it was in the 16th century when William Shakespeare lived there. Miraculously still preserves the character and atmosphere of an old Tudor town and a stroll along the High Street, gives the visitor that feeling of happiness “TO BE” rather than “NOT TO BE” there!
After the visit of Shakespeare's Birthplace, passing the church where William Shakespeare is buried, the tour continues to Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's wife family home and finish the day with a tea-time stop before returning to London !
