Writers, Royalty and the River A great day out from London - Try something a Brit Different! Windsor, The Chitern Hills & the Thames Valley A stone's throw to the west of London lie the Chiltern Hills and the Thames Valley. Here, set amidst unforgettable countryside, thatched cottage villages, old coaching towns and along the banks of the rolling river Thames, are houses lived in by some of the greatest writers in the English Language and the graveyards where their bones now lie. John Milton found his 'Paradise Lost' here. Mary Shelley was inspired to write 'Frankenstein'. Jerome K Jerome lived besides the river and thought up the classic comic novel 'Three men in a boat'. Thomas Gray composed his still resonant 'Elegy' in the same churchyard where he now lies buried. Kenneth Graham, also inspired by the river and 'the Wind in the Willows' gave birth to Toad, Ratty and Mole. And there's also Enid Blyton, TS Elliot and Edgar Wallace all remembered here. In addition to sites, homes and memorials associated with these literary giants there's also the original 'Mayflower barn' and Quaker resting place of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania and of course, Windsor, best associated with H G Wells... oh, and that Royal family who have a castle here! This is a truly magnificent day out. The very best of Britain at London's back door.
This tour is not run as a scheduled departure; the tour will be just yourselves with your own driver/guide. We would pick you up from your Central London hotel at 8.30 and return you there at approximately 6PM. Entrances to major attractions included in the price. Lunch is at your own expense (but we will find a great place for you to eat!)
2008 Rates: 2 to 3 persons traveling: $725 USD 4 to 6 persons traveling: $749 USD 7+ persons traveling: $849 USD
NOTE: Subject to vehicle/guide availability. Please, try to give two alternative dates for your tour when booking in case your first choice is not available.
This is a great add-on to our popular 4-day Southern Literary tour or our 3-day Jane Austen mini-tour.
