Board your coach and then sit back on the journey north from London Victoria railway station to Stratford-upon-Avon. Famous as Shakespeare’s birthplace, the endearing market town is home to a cluster of attractions that pay homage to the playwright.
Visit Shakespeare’s Schoolroom before it opens its doors to the public and take part in a 16th-century-style classroom lesson, just for your group. Enjoy free time to explore and maybe use the break for lunch or to visit other Shakespeare sites (own expense).
Continue to Warwick Castle, stepping into a medieval world where battles and banquets were common events. Explore the estate and dungeons where Madam Tussauds’ waxwork figures and special effects bring the castle’s past to life.
Finally, you’ll start your journey south via the university city of Oxford. See the prestigious college buildings on a walking tour of Oxford’s historic center and then travel back to London Victoria with your guide.
