Embark on a day trip from London and take a break from the busy city. Explore the university city of Oxford and 2 charming towns of the Cotswolds, Burford and Bibury.

Meet in central London and travel northwest out of the city, passing through the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Enjoy the views of the picturesque countryside that has inspired television shows like Midsomer Murders and Vicar of Dibley.

Make your first stop in the university city of Oxford, where you have time to explore the precincts of the many colleges. Climb to the vantage points to admire the skyline of the city, or choose to see the art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum.

Continue to Burford, known as the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. Take some time to explore this small market town lined with typical terraced houses along its charming High Street.

Travel onwards a short distance to Bibury, often considered one of the prettiest villages in England. Stroll by the fairytale-like Arlington Row, with a row of tumbledown cottages dating from the 1300s.

After a full day exploring the city of Oxford and the villages of the Cotswolds, relax on the return journey to London.
