England - Cotswolds & Stonehenge

Join us for an insider’s tour of the beautiful Cotswolds region of England. This gorgeous area west of London is known for its quaint villages, Roman ruins and prehistoric stone circles. Cycle to villages and along low-traffic byways and see rural England, Oxford and stately Bath. Visit colorful pubs and welcoming inns ... and get to know the locals as you explore.

Meet at London’s Paddington Station for a transfer to Oxford, home of the famous university. After a walking tour of the campus and town, transfer for a bike fitting and your first ride in the Cotswolds. After a welcome dinner, settle in for two nights at a lovely boutique hotel in Burford. The following days bring you pleasant riding and visits to Blenheim Palace & Gardens. Plus, when you visit Woodstock, Bibury, Tebury, and more — you’ll see why so many period TV shows and movies were filmed in the Cotswolds.

The next two nights you stay at a cozy inn in Tetbury and explore the picturesque village of Lacock. Then transfer to see the dramatic site of Stonehenge ... and if time allows, also visit the stone circle at Avebury.

Then cycle an old Roman road into Bath, which includes a section on an ancient canal path. Visit the famous Roman baths there and stay your final night. After breakast, shuttle to the Bath train station for farewells.
