London to Oxford

London Paddington by train to Oxford

  • Welcome dinner in Oxford
  • Nuit : Oxford
  • En train

We meet your See Sight Tours guide at London Paddington between about 9 and 10 am (the exact time and meeting point come with your final itinerary) and take a direct train to Oxford, about an hour through the Thames valley.

Après-midi

Our minibus meets the train and takes the bags to the hotel while we walk into the centre for lunch on your own. In the afternoon your guide leads a walk through the university city: Broad Street and the Sheldonian Theatre, the Bridge of Sighs, Radcliffe Square with the round Radcliffe Camera, and the Bodleian quadrangle. We go inside Christ Church to see Tom Quad, the cathedral and the Great Hall, the model for the dining hall in the Harry Potter films. From April to September we end the afternoon on the water, in chauffeured punts from Magdalen Bridge along the Cherwell; in other months we walk Christ Church Meadow instead.

Soir

Then we sit down together to a welcome dinner in the centre.

Faune et météo : April and May bring lambs in the Cotswold and Lakeland fields and long evenings; June to August are the warmest and busiest months; September and October are quieter, with autumn colour in the Lakes and the Dales. Rain is likely at some point in any month, so each day has an indoor alternative.

Questions

What does the England trip price include?

Nine nights in central hotels, 9 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 3 dinners, both trains (London to Oxford and York to London), our own minibus and driver in between, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every visit in the day plan, including Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, Christ Church, Hill Top, Dove Cottage, two lake boats, Fountains Abbey and York Minster.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. That fits one minibus, which can use the village lanes and car parks in the Cotswolds and the Lakes that a coach cannot, and everyone can hear the guide in a college quad or on the walls.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from London Paddington to the York train and leads every walk and visit, with a professional driver at the wheel of the minibus. Where a site uses its own guides, they join us there. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately. Expect 2 to 4 hours a day on foot on pavements, cobbles, field paths and lakeshore tracks, with stiles, steps and short climbs. The hardest walk, Catbells, is optional; every longer walk has an easy option, and the minibus can meet you partway.

I am travelling solo. What does a single room cost?

A room of your own is from CAD 1,105 more than the twin-share price, shown up front before you book. Solo travellers get the same room standard, the same seat in the minibus and the same table at every included meal. Ask us if you would like to share a room with another solo guest.

When is the best time to go?

April to October. Spring brings lambs and long evenings, summer is warmest but busiest, and September and October are quieter with autumn colour in the Lakes and Dales. We avoid the late-May bank holiday and the August school holidays where we can, when villages and hotels are at their fullest.

How does booking work?

Choose a start date and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken until we do. The small group starts from CAD 6,510 per person sharing a room, with taxes included.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The trip also runs as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, from CAD 11,720 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, trains and entries without a guide.

Do I need a visa for England?

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for a tourist visit, but do need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for online before you fly. It is not included in the price. Other passports may need a visa; check before you book and we will help.

How long are the drives?

Most driving days are 1 to about 4 hours, split into legs of an hour or so by village stops, walks and lunch. Day 5, Bath to the Lake District, is the exception at about five hours and 415 km, because it crosses England from south to north; we break it with about three hours in Chester and a sit-down lunch.

What if it rains in the Lake District?

It probably will at some point; the Lakes are the wettest part of England. Hill Top, Dove Cottage and both lake boats run in rain, and your guide swaps the order of days or picks a sheltered walk when the weather is poor. Bring a waterproof jacket and shoes with grip.

Does this trip include Scotland or Cornwall?

No, it stays in England so the days are not spent on long drives. York has direct trains to Edinburgh, so you can join our Scotland trip to the Highlands and Skye afterwards, and our Cornwall and Devon trip covers the far South West. Ask us and we will line up the dates.
