Stratford-upon-Avon
is a small, pretty town on the banks of the River Avon, famous for
once being the home to one of the most important playwrights of
the English language, William Shakespeare. Oxford's dreaming spires
dominate the city skyline. But Oxford has more than just the University;
interesting museums including Britain's oldest public museum, the
Ashmolean, a vibrant shopping centre, a fascinating history and
plenty of attractions. |

Plan
for the day |

On
arrival in Stratford-upon-Avon, your guide will take you on an informal
walk of the town including a visit to Shakespeare's grave in Holy
Trinity Church. The tour concludes at the birthplace museum, the
house that Shakespeare was born and lived in as a boy (Entry optional).
After lunch, we take the short journey to Oxford through the beautiful
landscape of the northern Cotswolds. In Oxford your guide will introduce
you to the sights of the city centre and the colleges explaining
the history of the University. Then wander the college-lined streets
or the beautiful parks to soak up the atmosphere of one of the world's
great academic cities. Back to Cambridge mid-evening. |
