Oxford and Cotswold Group Tour From Bristol
Reaching Oxford and the Cotswolds from Bristol by public transport means juggling trains and infrequent rural buses. Travel by Mercedes minibus with a guide and driver, starting with a walk through Oxford’s cobbled streets and historic architecture. Then, head out to explore a selection of Cotswolds villages before returning to Bristol.
Highlights
- ✓Check off two major sights from Bristol—Oxford and the Cotswolds—in one tour
- ✓Skip the hassle of renting your own car and navigating English roads
- ✓Go beyond the guidebooks with insights from your live guide
- ✓Discover the most picturesque parts of the Cotswolds other tourists miss
What you'll see & do
- ✓Start your journey leaving Bristol, entering the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a national treasure. Drive through grasslands and valleys, simply enjoy the view.
- ✓Begin at Oxford, where you can explore college precincts, climb vantage points for skyline views, or visit the Ashmolean Museum's art and antiquities collections. Wander through elegant halls reminiscent of Harry Potter as spires reach for the sky.
- ✓Next, visit Burford, the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds.' Overflowing with character, this small market town boasts dream-worthy quaint properties along the main street. Take time to soak in local charm and hospitality, and if hungry, indulge in a traditional English 'Afternoon Tea.'
- ✓Next, take a short journey to Bibury. Prepare for a moment of awe. William Morris hailed it as England's prettiest village, and Henry Ford contemplated transporting it to the USA. Enjoy time strolling to the famed Arlington Row and wander along the Coln River.
