Two Centre Vacation - England and Scotland
OUTLINE ITINERARY
Week One: Tour of Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds
Your Guide grew up in this area and hence is very well placed to provide an escorted tour of both the major sites/places of interest and those which may fit in the “off the tourist trail” category. Envisage you staying at a three star Country Hotel to be used a base for visits to such possible venues as:
• Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Shakespeare’s Birthplace.
• Shakespeare Country (Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and nearby villages).
• Warwick Castle (A dramatic fortress dating back to 1068.)
• Burford (Old wool town with honey colored buildings.)
• The pretty village of Bourton-on-the-Water.
• Edgehill (site of famous civil war battle).
• Chipping Camden (Historic Cotswolds wool town)
This Tour will be fully escorted. You will be collected at Moreton-in-Marsh railway station and at the finish will travel by rail or air to Glasgow to commence Scottish Tour.
Week Two: Tour Scotland
