Embark on a day trip from London to uncover three remarkable locations in England: witness the grandeur of Windsor Castle, an official residence of the Royal family; explore Stonehenge, a globally recognized prehistoric site; and delve into the historical charm of Oxford, one of the country’s ancient cities. You have the flexibility to select from various ticket options based on your preferences.
Details of the Day Trip
Our journey begins with boarding a spacious coach in central London at the scheduled time, providing you an opportunity to unwind during the approximately one-hour ride to Windsor Castle.
Located just about an hour from London, Windsor Castle stands as the largest occupied castle in the world, featuring an impressive tower that is over 800 years old. Its strategic location is enhanced by beautiful gardens that surround it. While at the castle, you’ll explore its lavish rooms, appreciate an array of artworks, and visit St George’s Chapel. A highlight of the castle is Queen Mary’s Doll House, a meticulously crafted miniature house built between 1921 and 1924, equipped with running hot water and electricity.
Next, we will make our way to Stonehenge, the UK’s most famous megalithic structure. Constructed with colossal 40-ton stones more than 5,000 years ago, this iconic landmark continues to be a source of intrigue, with its construction methods and purposes still shrouded in mystery.
Following our exploration of Stonehenge, we’ll proceed to Oxford, a historic city and home to one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Here, you can admire the beautiful “city of dreaming spires” and iconic structures like the Bodleian Library, one of Europe’s oldest libraries. The picturesque streets and squares of Oxford will surely captivate you!
Finally, after approximately 11.5 hours, we will return to central London to conclude our day.
