Hi, all,
My husband and I are going to London and Oxford mid April, and staying in the area for about three weeks. We're looking forward to touring and visiting the sites, but we're not wanting to try to pack in so many places that it isn't a restful, relaxing vacation (next time!). We're staying in London for a week, then going to Oxford for the second week, before returning to London to fly back to the states.
I've had the Britrail Pass (specifically, London Plus Pass, to match the areas we'll be in) recommended so we can do day trips from Oxford and maybe from London, but there are a few websites to choose from with purchasing it, as well as one with travel protection offering. Any recommendations? I've seen some discouragement from even using the Britrail Pass, but it seems like a reasonable deal, and, I assume, less of a hassle than buying train tickets one at a time. I'd appreciate any thoughts on that, too.
Thanks in advance!
