Would appreciate help with the sequence of itinerary.
I will be arriving in London at the end of June and will be renting a car.
I had originally planned to head directly to Bath, staying for 3 nights. Then head to Cardiff for one night. After that on to the Cotswolds for three nights, with a day trip to Oxford and Blenheim Palace from there.
Questions:
does it make more sense to just do a day trip to Cardiff from Bath and return to Bath after (making that 4 nights in Bath)? I have looked at the maps but am getting conflicting info on how much time in takes to drive to Cardiff from Bath (varies between one hour and one and a half hours). I know it's often easier to stay put instead of moving lodging but not sure if it is in this case.
Is it better to travel to the Cotswolds from Cardiff or Bath (both look to be about 1 hour 40 minutes)? I have never been to this area of England/Wales so don't know anything about the roads and ease of point to point travel.
it is best to do Oxford and Blenheim as a day trip from the Cotswolds?
Thank you in advance for your help.
