Our son is graduating from Cambridge University in the fall of 2025. We are looking to travel a small region of England using public transportation only. We have been to London and done all the first-time tourist sightseeing. Please look over my tentative itinerary and let me know what adjustments you would suggest along with any hotel or activities recommendations. It seems there is no way to get from Oxford to Cambridge without going to London? Your suggestions are most welcomed.
Day 1: Arrive London take train to Bath (stay in Bath)
Day 2: Bath to Oxford potential daytrip to (stay in Oxford)
Day 3: Oxford daytrip to Cotswolds (stay in Oxford)
Day 4: Oxford daytrip to Blenheim Palace (stay in Oxford or go on to London?)
Day 5: Leave Oxford take train to London and on to Cambridge (stay in Cambridge)
Day 6: Cambridge (stay in Cambridge)
Day 7: Cambridge (son’s graduation; stay in Cambridge)
Day 8: Leave Cambridge to London – Kew Gardens
Day 9: London Explore -- St. Paul's
Day 10: Return home
