About this activity

Discover Oxford and the Cotswolds with our self-guided tour, exploring 9 centuries of academic brilliance and enchanting English countryside at your own pace. Begin among the dreaming spires of Oxford — the oldest English-speaking university city — where college quads, Gothic libraries, and dining halls that inspired the Harry Potter films stand alongside markets. Gaze up at the Radcliffe Camera dome, walk Christ Church College where Lewis Carroll first told Alice's adventures, and cross Hertford Bridge — Oxford's Bridge of Sighs. Then venture into the Cotswold Hills, where time stands still in villages of warm honey-coloured limestone. Wade through the River Windrush at Bourton-on-the-Water, photograph the medieval cottages at Bibury's Arlington Row, and climb Broadway Tower for views across 16 counties. From Blenheim Palace to the ancient squares of Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden, this tour weaves heritage and pastoral beauty across one of England's most treasured landscapes.
