Cambridge and London England
July 2024
From the grandeur and bustle of London, to the pastoral countryside that inspired Wordsworth, to some of the quaintest towns you'll ever experience, England delights. Stand in a desolate field and ponder an ancient stone circle. Strike up a conversation just to hear the King's English. Bite into a scone smothered with clotted cream, sip a cup of tea, and wave your pinky as if it's a Union Jack.
This trip will be headquartered in Cambridge but we will be doing 2 or 3 day-trips to London.
England is part of the United Kingdom, which also includes Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Most visitors head straight to England’s capital, London, which is home to iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey.
But, there are fantastic sites all over England, especially for Shakespeare and Harry Potter fans! Head to Stonehenge, Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the hot springs of Bath.
With urban cities and towns that look like they’re from storybooks, England has an incredibly interesting history, age-old traditions, and spectacular gardens.
A hub for innovation and creativity housing the University of Cambridge, an institution dating back more than 800 years, the city of Cambridge is a hotbed of history and architecture. Take a punt on the River Cam to see the city from a unique perspective, or test your balancing skills on a stand-up paddle board for an adventurous way to see the sights. Create lasting memories exploring idyllic Cambridge - get into hustle and bustle of the city’s ever-changing market stalls, pick up tasty international street food, and climb up St Mary’s Church for panoramic views of Cambridge and beyond.
