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.
