  Next, journey through the classic English countryside into the heart of the Cotswolds, a picture-perfect region known for rolling green hills, stone farmhouses, and storybook villages.

  DAY 3 STRATFORD-UPON-AVON – COTSWOLDS-STRATFORD-UPON-AVON –
  The life and times of William Shakespeare will take center stage today when we pay a visit to the playwright’s timbered childhood home and his wife Anne Hathaway’s pretty thatched cottage. A stroll through the blooming gardens here is a must! We’ll have some time to enjoy lunch at our leisure – before we explore some picturesque Cotswolds hamlets this afternoon. This evening will be ours to spend at our leisure. Accommodation: Swan’s Nest Hotel (or similar)(B)

  Day 4: Stratford-upon-Avon – Lacock – Bath

  Day four is all about classic English indulgence and unforgettable scenery. Begin with a delightful traditional English afternoon tea, a quintessential experience before continuing through the countryside to Lacock, one of England’s most beautifully preserved villages. This picture-perfect setting is a favorite filming location—you may recognize it from Pride and Prejudice or The Other Boleyn Girl.

  Step inside Lacock Abbey, where serene medieval cloisters have starred as the Hogwarts hallways in the Harry Potter films. As you explore, it’s easy to imagine life centuries ago—or your favorite period drama unfolding around you.

  From here, travel on to Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its Roman history, elegant Georgian architecture, and undeniable “wow” factor. Settle in for your final two nights and enjoy a relaxed evening exploring Bath at your own pace, whether that means a riverside stroll, boutique shopping, or dining in one of the city’s many inviting restaurants.

  DAY 5 BATH

  After receiving a fascinating insight into Roman life on a morning visit to the Roman Baths, we'll visit the museum at No. 1 Royal Crescent. The city is yours to explore for yourself. You could enjoy a bit of ‘me time’ at Thermae Bath Spa (Britain’s only thermal spa), and bathe in mineral-rich waters while scanning the skyline from the rooftop pool – or, if you’d prefer to explore on foot, you could discover Bath’s proud independent side as you wander past stylish boutiques and celebrated coffee shops. At our last dinner together, we’ll swap stories and look back on our English journey with fond memories. Accommodation: The Abbey Hotel (or similar)

  Next, travel into the heart of England’s ancient past at Avebury, one of the world’s largest and most remarkable prehistoric stone circles.
