Oxford, Windsor Castle and Stonehenge Day Trip from London
London – Windsor Castle – Stonehenge – Oxford – London
Today we’ll travel to three of the most historic areas in England! First, we`ll head to Windsor Castle.
Windsor Castle has been home to the Royal Family for 900 years and is still an Official Residence of the Queen. We`ll 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 burial place of kings and queens, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour.
From here we’ll travel to one of the most famous sites in England and the world, Stonehenge. Stonehenge is an amazing feat of engineering and the most important prehistoric site in England, but beyond its archaeological significance and possible astronomical role, it is also a place of spiritual importance. Early legends link the site to Merlin and King Arthur. Over the past century, the midsummer sunrise has attracted pagan groups and followers of the Ancient Order of Druids.
Lastly, we’ll travel to the city of Oxford. Oxford has been a seat of learning since 1249. Enjoy a fascinating walking tour of the city, passing Trinity College, the Sheldonian Theatre, the newly renovated Ashmolean Museum, and the Martyr`s Memorial. See Divinity School, made famous in the Harry Potter films, and learn why this magical city inspired so many writers, including Lewis Carroll, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis.
