Oxford, city of the 'dreaming spires', has the second oldest university in Europe (after the Sorbonne in Paris) with organised teaching that can be traced back to the 12th century. The city's history and architecture are amazing. The Ashmolean Museum houses a vast collection of antiquities from numerous countries as well as many Old Master paintings and drawings. The Bodleian Library is one of the oldest in the world, housing many rare manuscripts.

Reading has always been an important centre, as it is strategically situated on the Thames. Jane Austen went to school there and, more notoriously, Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in Reading Gaol. Windsor Castle, one of the Queen's residences, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and many parts of it are open to the public. Windsor Great Park, a huge area of wooded park with some magnificent gardens, is in effect a vast nature reserve where all kinds of animals can be found. Also in Windsor is Legoland, so you don't have to go to Denmark for a fun-filled day for all the family.

The countryside in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire is quiet and gentle. Ampthill is a well-preserved little town of historical interest, with many picturesque cottages and gracious Georgian houses, while Dunstable is a modern town that still retains a few ancient and Victorian buildings. The ancient city of St Albans is a fascinating place to visit, with a wealth of features dating from Roman times to the present day. It was one of the largest and most important Roman towns ever founded in England.
