Oxford is famous for its dreamy spires
that make up its historic university and makes an excellent
start and finish for our safari.
We begin with a short cycle to the spectacular
Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Winston
Churchill’s ancestral home. Soon after we enter a different
world of quintessentially English villages, rolling green
hills and, of course, traditional “cream teas”. The cycle
takes us deep into the Cotswolds with its limestone cottages
along quiet back roads. Our first destination is Burford with
a particularly attractive main street of handsome inns and
charming cottages that lead down to a medieval bridge by the
old mill over the river Windrush.
We take our rest day in Stratford-upon-Avon with its Elizabethan
town centre and museums dedicated to its most famous son,
William Shakespeare. Nearby Warwick Castle is also worth a
visit. It is back to the saddle to experience more of the
famous towns and villages that make this area so charming.
