Oxfordshire area

[suzanna1066@comcast.]

Hi,
I am traveling to the UK in a couple of weeks for work. I will be spending several days in Henley-on-Thames before heading to central London. Over the weekend I would like to play tourist. Is there anything in the area I shouldn't miss? I won't have a car so will likely be reliant on trains.

Right now I am thinking Windsor Castle----seems the obvious tourist choice.

Windsor and the Castle are lovely places to visit - I went last year and had a great audio tour. (Unless they've changed their handsets it may be worth taking some headphones with you as I had an achy arm by the end of it!) The guides in the chapel were especially helpful and only too glad to answer questions. I've got a feeling we weren't allowed to take photos inside the buildings but I took plenty in the grounds.



It looks like you will need to change train a couple of times but it should still take less than an hour by train.

This website is quite good when planning a journey.
