The other popular stops in the area include Salisbury, an interesting medieval town, where a visit to the Cathedral provides viewing of one of the original copies of the Magna Carta.

Lacock is a village about 30 minutes from Bath. Its main attraction is that although very much a normal village, all the buildings are are at least a couple of hundred years old. Many films have been shot here like Harry Potter and Jane Austen recreating the England a century or two ago.

North west of London are the Cotswolds, imagine a scene of the English Countryside complete with thatched cottages, chocolate box villages and you're probably imagining the Cotswolds. On the edges of the Cotswolds are Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Stratford upon Avon and Warwick.

Oxford
is a university town where tours normally take the form of a walking tour focussing on the historic university colleges.
Nearby Blenheim Palace is a world heritage site set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the exquisite Baroque Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, formal gardens and the magnificent Lake. You can also visit the palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill.
