| Cambridge & Oxford |
Cambridge We begin our day travelling to Cambridge. Cambridge's stately Gothic style College buildings rise spectacularly from the greenery along the River Cam where students and visitors enjoy punting along the River. We visit the magnificent perpendicular chapel of King's College, founded in 1441, it’s the finest and grandest example of late medieval Gothic architecture in England and is a fitting tribute to the great minds that have studied here. Oxford Through scenic countryside to Oxford, bridging - in a couple of hours - centuries of scholarly rivalry between these two venerable institutions! Oxford, the 'City of Dreaming Spires', whose hushed courtyards and elegant, dignified timeworn buildings have inspired generations of scholars (including Bill Clinton in the 1970s!) and writers, including Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland' here. |
