This extensive 14-day journey through Britain brings history and legend to life. From gracious Edinburgh to England’s legendary Lake District, and spectacular Snowdonia to the rural Cotswolds and Bath, this trip, culminating in cosmopolitan London, is sure to excite. In Edinburgh, visit Edinburgh Castle, encounter the Royal Mile and Holyrood, and enjoy time for independent exploration. Traveling on to the beautiful Lake District, stop at William Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage and tour Hill Top, the 17th-century farmhouse of Beatrix Potter, author of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.” In Wales, visit the 13th-century Caernarfon Castle and Snowdonia National Park. Then, explore Shakespeare’s birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon. See Bath’s historic Roman Baths, the Jane Austen Centre and the Cotswolds before traveling to London, via Stonehenge. There, take a panoramic city tour and see many of London’s celebrated landmarks. An optional 3-day/2-night post-tour extension in London is available.
