The Cotswolds
Step into the charm of the English countryside in the Cotswolds. Here, you will find some of the loveliest scenery in the whole country, with rolling hills and patchwork fields. Stroll the streets of the charming villages, admiring chocolate-box cottages, winding rivers and historic churches. Those who appreciate a slower pace of life and idyllic surroundings will adore the Cotswolds.
Canterbury
Canterbury has an incomparable historic charm, with cobbled streets and mediaeval-style buildings. Visit Canterbury Cathedral to see the famous shrine of Thomas Beckett or light a candle in the crypt. You can even take to the water with the typical English activity of punting, available May-September. Cruising in the traditional wooden boats is a relaxing way to tour the city.
Stonehenge
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stonehenge is an unmissable destination in England. Although the remote location might be concerning at first, it’s no problem even for those with more limited mobility. Free shuttle buses run regularly from the visitor centre to the stones, providing accessibility for everyone. Visit this iconic landmark with ease and see 5000 years of history with your own eyes.
Oxford
Intertwined with the city centre, the world-famous Oxford University is an amazing place to visit. Marvel at the gothic architecture of the colleges, halls and libraries, or buy tickets for a sneak-peek inside. The rest of the city is equally beautiful, with scenic parks and gardens like the Oxford Botanic Garden. Or, head to the museums to see their fascinating collections, like the Pitt Rivers or the Ashmolean.
Dover
The White Cliffs have some of the best coastal scenery in the country, with breath-taking views of the English Channel. Those who enjoy a stroll can walk the cliff-top path to the Lighthouse, where a little cafe waits. WW2 enthusiasts will want to take a tour of the Fan Deep Bay Shelter, or the tunnels of Dover Castle. Dover is filled with natural beauty and fascinating history in equal measure, offering something for everyone.
Bath
Bath is a truly pretty city, made up of Georgian-style honey-coloured buildings. Explore the winding streets filled with market stalls of local products. Or, see the 2000 year-old ruins of the Roman Baths which gave the city its name in the underground museums. And literature-lovers will be enchanted by the Jane Austen Centre, where the author once lived. After the sightseeing, relax with a luxurious treatment in the hot springs of the Thermae Bath Spa.
