In England, enjoy a slow meandering barge cruise on the famed Royal River Thames, combining cosmopolitan elegance with rural
splendor. The countryside boasts an unrivaled opportunity to visit stately homes, palaces, and gardens, as well as quiet villages
with perfectly manicured gardens. You'll love the delightful mixture of Olde Worlde England and the natural beauty of the region.
Along the way, you might spend a day visiting the magnificent Royal Windsor Castle, built by William the Conqueror and inhabited
for over 900 years by the Royal Family. You can also visit Eton College, alma maters of Princes Harry and William and 20 of Britain's
Prime Ministers. In Henley, you can see the spectacular and interactive River & Rowing Museum, home of the annual Henley
Royal Regatta. Visit Oxford, the 'City of Dreaming Spires'. You'll also have plenty of good cycling and walking opportunities for
gentle exploration of this special area.
Enjoy English regional gourmet specialties like roasted salmon with malt whisky and horseradish sauce, and Guinea fowl with wild
mushrooms. You can also try a variety of cheeses, such as Stilton, Red Leicester, and White Cheshire.
