Walking & Hiking Vacations
England - The Cotswolds & Oxford
Golden limestone and thatched cottages form the backdrop to this gentle journey through one of England's prettiest regions.
Walking historic footpaths, Roman roads and winding lanes through sleepy villages, we discover the world-class gardens of Hidcote Manor, designed by Lawrence Johnson, and walk through the grounds of Batsford House. We eat hearty pub lunches with local ale and meet a farmer and his sheep dog. We visit the Duke of Marlborough's estate at Blenheim and see the quiet village graveyard in Bladon where Sir Winston Churchill is buried.
We explore the ancient university town of Oxford and try our hand at punting on the river.
