More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a leather-seated Mercedes as London thins behind you, the city’s rhythm replaced by rolling green fields and low hedgerows. The first stop, Windsor Castle, rises from the plain — stone battlements that have housed monarchs for nearly a millennium. From there the road unfurls toward Salisbury Plain, where the silent circle of Stonehenge stands like an argument between earth and sky, its stones daring you to read their alignments. The day closes in Oxford, where cobbled lanes and college towers keep centuries of scholarship visible in every spire and doorway.
