15 days in Oxford Itinerary

A busy, cosmopolitan city, Oxford is perhaps best known for its ancient university.

The Roman Baths and Oxford University Museum of Natural History are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Popular historic sites such as Stonehenge and Christ Church Cathedral are in your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Oxford: Swindon (Lydiard Park & St Mary's Lydiard Tregoze), Lacock Abbey (in Lacock) and Bowood House and Gardens (in Derry Hill). There's still lots to do: head outdoors with The Cotswold Range, stroll around Port Meadow, take an in-depth tour of The D-Day Story, and take in nature's colorful creations at Hidcote Manor Garden.
