Description
Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford on a day trip from London. Explore State Apartments and St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, see the ancient Stonehenge, and take a guided walking tour.
Begin your day with a visit to Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and a favored residence of the British royal family for over 900 years. Explore the magnificent State Apartments, adorned with priceless works of art by Rembrandt and Rubens, and step inside St. George’s Chapel, the final resting place of monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II and Henry VIII. Witness the Changing of the Guard (on selected days) and enjoy a glimpse into royal life past and present.
Next, travel across the scenic Salisbury Plain to the mystical Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s greatest prehistoric monuments. Marvel at the towering stone circle, believed to be over 5,000 years old. Learn about the various theories behind its purpose—from an ancient astronomical calendar to a Druid temple—at the excellent visitor center and interactive exhibition.
End your day in the picturesque city of Oxford, home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Enjoy a guided walking tour through cobbled lanes and elegant college courtyards, where literary legends like J.R.R. Tolkien and Lewis Carroll once strolled. Admire architectural gems such as the Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Camera, and Christ Church College, famously featured in the Harry Potter films.
