We take you back through Warwick Castle's 1,000 year history to a time of bloody battles, extravagant banquets and royal ceremony. Visit the magnificent interiors of the Great Hall & State Rooms, climb the Towers and Ramparts for an archer's view of the historic town of Warwick, and enter the multi-sensory Kingmaker attraction and journey back to 1471 as Richard Neville prepares his army for battle. Alternatively, you might like to stroll through some of the 60 acres of Warwick Castle's landscaped gardens.
Birthplace of William Shakespeare: if you have ever used the expression: 'Too much of a good thing', 'Come what may' or 'Laughing stock,' you are quoting the great playwright. We will visit his Birthplace, and will gain a fascinating insight into his life.
We drive through one of the most scenic areas of England, the Cotswolds. Passing through charming villages with thatched cottages, tea shops and ancient inns.
The colleges in Oxford date back to the 13th century and among its famous students were Bill Clinton, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Lewis Carroll. We take you on a fascinating walking tour to see Christ Church, which inspired some of the Harry Potter film sets. We'll also see the Bodleian Library and the picture perfect college courtyards for which Oxford is famous.

Warwick Castle, Shakespeare's England, Oxford & the Cotswolds (Classic)
It was certainly a great tour. My only regret was that we were only able to drive through the Cotswolds. Understanding it is a jammed packed day. Seeing the countryside was amazing and trying to catch a glimpse of the thatched roofs that this area is renowned for.
