Windsor Castle

A professional guide is aboard the luxury air-conditioned touring bus the entire day and will provide commentary and guiding throughout. Windsor Castle, the first stop on the tour is a short 45 minute journey west of London. During that short time you would have heard about Windsor Castle its history and interesting snippets from your guide.

Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle opens at 9:45 a.m. so we will be arriving around the time the castle opens to the public.

Built high above the River Thames, Windsor Castle has been home to the Royal Family for 900 years and is still an Official Residence of the Queen. We visit the magnificent State Apartments, still used for State occasions and Royal receptions.

Take some time to explore the castle grounds and the fourteenth-century St. George's Chapel, one of the most beautiful examples of medieval church architecture in England and a burial place of kings and queens, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour.

Windsor itself is a pretty town full of traditional shops and historic pubs. Immediately outside the castle is the Old Town with its cobbled streets.

Stonehenge

Its now late morning when we depart Windsor and make the approximately 80 minute journey to Stonehenge.

Clouded in mystery, the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is an amazing feat of engineering and the most important prehistoric site in England, but beyond its archaeological significance and possible astronomical role, Stonehenge is also a place of spiritual importance.

Early legends link it with Merlin and King Arthur, but over the last hundred years the midsummer sunrise has attracted pagan groups and followers of the Ancient Order of Druids.

We will spend best part of two hours here at Stonehenge, plenty of time to take in Stonehenge, take in the Stonehenge exhibition and visit the gift shop or grab a coffee.

Oxford

Bridge of Sighs Oxford

After leaving Stonehenge its onto our final stop Oxford, the famous university city, north from Stonehenge.

This is the city of Dreaming Spires and home to the world's most famous university. Its colleges date back to the 13th century, an inspiration to generations of scholars including President Bill Clinton, and the authors J R R Tolkien, Lewis Carroll and C S Lewis.

Your Evan Evans guide will take you on a walking tour to see Christ Church college, the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre and much else besides.

Its now very late afternoon when we leave Oxford for the journey back to London, the estimated time of arrival back in London is around 7 p.m.
