Description:
England delivers prehistoric monuments, Roman ruins, medieval university towns, and one of the world’s great capital cities. You will visit the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and more with over 110 options in the city.
Take the train to Oxford, a town outside the city which inspired two of literature’s greatest worlds: Narnia with C.S. Lewis and Middle-earth with J.R.R. Tolkien. Visit Christ Church and all the spots in Oxford inspired by famous writers and films like Harry Potter.
Travel to Stonehenge and Bath for a day in the English Countryside. Stonehenge holds ancient standing stones that align with the solstice sun and remain one of humanity’s great mysteries. Founded by the Romans around 60 AD, Bath’s remarkably preserved Roman Baths are among the finest Roman remains in Europe. Home to Jane Austen, the Georgian city center and Royal Crescent make it one of England’s most beautiful cities.
