Day 1
Your England travel starts with Britishtourplans by heading west to our first
stop which is at Salisbury. The Cathedral with its spire, the tallest in Great
Britain, is visited. The City has many Queen Anne and Georgian facades and the
Old Town has narrow alleys full of medieval houses and quaint inns. We continue
our sightseeing at Stonehenge, the major pre-historic stone circle in the UK,
then onwards to more (some say better) stone circles at the village of Avebury,
which also boasts a magnificent Saxon church. We then continue our England tour
through Lacock and moving on to the Roman city of Bath which combines Roman
ruins with the most complete Georgian architecture. Free time to explore.

Your England vacation continues north through the Cotswolds, Castle Combe and
Cirencester and the charming English villages on the way such as Boughton on
the Water and Moreton in Marsh to bring us to Stratford upon Avon, renowned
as the birthplace of the famous English playwright William Shakespeare. After
some time sightseeing we travel onward to Warwick Castle with one of the most
majestic 14th century English castles. Free time to explore.

North today and to the 2000-year-old Roman city of Chester but taking in the
wonderful English Wedgewood Centre on the way. This still leaves plenty of free
