The Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace with Lunch in a Traditional British Pub

<p>Spend a glorious day in the quintessentially English region of the Cotswolds and leave the fast-paced bustle of London behind you, as you head out for a relaxing one-day fully guided tour. <br /></p>

<p><strong>Blenheim Palace</strong><br />A monumental house with 2,000 acres of beautiful parkland, Blenheim Palace is the only non-royal and non-religious country house in England to hold the title of Palace. Built in 1705 and 1722, Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of the 1st Duke of Marlborough’s descendent Winston Churchill whose life and achievements are commemorated in a permanent exhibition in the suite of rooms in which he was born. <br /></p>

<p><strong>Enjoy a 2-course lunch at a traditional British pub.</strong><br /></p>

<p><strong>Drive Through the Cotswolds</strong><br />See the gorgeous sights of the Cotswolds’ most beautiful villages as you drive through Burford, often called the ‘gateway’ to the Cotswolds, and Bourton-on-the-Water which sits aside the River Windrush, and is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds.<br /></p>

<p>Once you’ve left Bourton-on-the-Water your coach will take you back to London. You’ll reach London at approximately 7:00pm to Victoria or Kensington. Due to legal working hours, if your tour arrives back in London after 7:45pm you will be dropped off at Gloucester Road Underground station, not Victoria. Gloucester Road is three stops on the Circle or District lines to Victoria. </p>
