Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cotswolds & Warwick Castle Day Trip
Visiting Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick Castle in one day is impossible on public transport, but this tour covers the route with hassle-free, round-trip coach travel. Visit Warwick Castle before heading over to Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare's birthplace. Then drive through the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to Oxford, where you explore the university's buildings on a walking tour before returning to London. Ditch the hustle and bustle of London for a day, soak up the views on a scenic Cotswolds drive, gain insight you won't find in a guidebook with a local leading the way, and save yourself self-drive stress and route planning. Benefit from Warwick Castle and Shakespeare's Birthplace entry plus an Oxford walking tour bundled into one booking.
