Oxford
Of worldwide fame, ‘The City of Dreaming Spires’ is home to the oldest English-language university in the world, the University of Oxford, which was founded in 1096. A walking tour allows you to experience and appreciate the beautiful architecture and the narrow, winding streets of the historical town centre.
Steeped in history, Oxford is an intriguing mixture of old and new. There are smart shopping malls, boutique shops, cafés and museums and older college buildings.
Emblematic of the beauty and charm of the city, Christ Church College, traditionally considered the most aristocratic of Oxford's colleges, is home to a number of locations made famous for their use in the Harry Potter films, including the Great Hall and moving staircases, and has fast become a favourite tourist destination.
Windsor
Situated in the West of London, Windsor is a town most famous for the spectacular Windsor Castle: the Queen of England's official weekend residence. The castle was originally built by King William I of England in the 11th Century, although it has undergone drastic changes since.
Windsor is the epitome of luscious, green, British countryside and is filled with traditional woodland, gardens and lakes. The surrounding areas are home to some of England's most treasured and prestigious institutions, such as Eton College and the Royal Ascot Racecourse.
