Spend the morning exploring spire-studded Oxford, famous for its Gothic architecture and home to the oldest university in the UK. Explore the precincts of the colleges, climb vantage points to admire the skyline, or see the art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum. Grab some lunch before continuing your journey.
Next, head deeper into the Cotswolds, famous for its charming villages nestled between rolling hills, thatched cottages, and traditional markets.
