Day Trips

London is ideally located for an array of fascinating day trips. You can enjoy day trips to iconic spots like Stonehenge, Bath, Windsor Castle, Oxford, the charming Cotswolds, Warwick Castle, Leeds Castle, Canterbury, the White Cliffs of Dover, Greenwich, and historic Dover. You can either opt to rent a car or book day trips from the operators online.

Stonehenge is a must-see, often paired with the historic city of Bath for its Roman baths and Georgian architecture. Windsor Castle, the world’s oldest inhabited castle, combines well with the nearby university city of Oxford. For countryside charm, explore the Cotswolds villages, full of quaint homes and beautiful landscapes, often combined with Oxford or Warwick Castle, known for its medieval splendor. Heading south, the seaside White Cliffs of Dover are stunning, and nearby Canterbury enchants with its famous cathedral. Leeds Castle and Greenwich (famous for its Royal Observatory and maritime history) also make popular day trips. Each destination is reachable by train or guided tours from London, making it easy to mix historical sites, scenic beauty, and cultural landmarks in a single day’s itinerary. These combinations provide a rich snapshot of England beyond the capital.
