| Day
Trips |
|
| Bath: |
A
couple of hours west of London by train or coach. The main draw and
"must do" are the Roman Baths but there is also a multitude
of museums, galleries and other attractions to suit all interests.
Very nice city well worth a visit.
|
| Hampton
Court: |
In
the suburbs, south-west of London with a direct train service. If
you have time you can take a 3 hour river trip from Westminster by
scheduled boat and return by train. Plenty to see and do including
the maze.
|
| Oxford: |
Famous
for its university and nearby Blenheim Palace,a world heritage site,
home of the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
Oxford is just an hour or two by coach or train north-west of London.
|
| Stonehenge: |
World
famous monument west of London. Independently you can combine it with
Salisbury by public transport. Many coach tours are just as economical
as the public transport option, commonly twinned with Windsor or Bath.
|
| Stratford
Upon Avon: |
Home
of Shakespeare and on the edge of the Cotswolds, a picture perfect
district of English villages. Stratford is situated about 80 miles
north-west of Central London. Organised coach trips combine with Oxford,
Blenheim or Warwick Castle.
|
| Windsor: |
On
the western edge of London, very close to Heathrow Airport. A full
day out can be had. Main draws are Windsor Castle and Eton College.
Boat trips, theme park and much else. Great walks available, many
in the Queens grounds.
|
Private
Guided Tours: |
If
you want to see the places you want to see at a pace you want to go
a private tour with an experienced guide makes sense. If you can get
a small group together , even better as this option need not cost
any more than a scheduled public tour.
