Oxford, Cambridge & Around
A visit to Oxford is as close as most of us will get to the brilliant minds and august institutions that have made this city famous across the globe. But you'll catch a glimpse of this rarefied world in the cobbled lanes and ancient quads where student cyclists and dusty academics roam. The beautiful college buildings, archaic traditions and stunning architecture have changed little over the centuries, leaving the city centre much as Einstein or Tolkien would have found it.
The most wonderful thing about the Cotswolds is that no matter where you go or how lost you get, you'll still end up in an impossibly quaint village of rose-clad cottages and honey-coloured stone. There'll be a charming village green, a pub with sloping floors and fine ales, and a view of the lush green hills. It's easy to leave the crowds behind and find your very own slice of medieval England here and some of the best boutique hotels in the country.
One of Englands two great historic university cities, Cambridge highlights include a tour of at least one of the ancient colleges, and time spent marvelling at the intricate vaulting of King's College Chapel. But no trip to Cambridge is complete without an attempt to take a punt (flat-bottomed boat) along the picturesque 'Backs' the leafy, green lawns behind the city's finest colleges. Polish off the day with a pint in one of the many historic pubs. You'll soon wonder how you could have studied anywhere else.

Generally not needed for stays of up to six months. Not a member of the Schengen Zone.
ATMs widely available; credit cards widely accepted.
The UK uses the GSM 900/1800 network, which covers the rest of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but isn't compatible with the North American GSM 1900. Most modern mobiles can function on both networks, but check before you leave home just in case.
Though roaming charges within the EU are due to be entirely eliminated in December 2015, other international roaming charges can be prohibitively high, and you'll probably find it cheaper to get a UK number. This is easily done by buying a SIM card (around 10 including calling credit) and sticking it in your phone. Your phone may be locked to your home network, however, so you'll have to either get it unlocked, or buy a pay-as-you-go phone along with your SIM card (around 50).
Pay-as-you-go phones can be recharged by buying vouchers from shops.
GMT plus one hour during summer daylight saving time, UTC plus zero the rest of the year.
Weather at its best. Accommodation rates high, particularly in August (school holidays).
Roads busy, especially in seaside areas, national parks and popular cities.
Crowds reduce. Prices drop.
Weather often good: March to May sun mixes with sudden rain; September to October can feature balmy 'Indian summers'.
Wet and cold is the norm. Snow can fall, especially up north.
Opening hours reduced October to Easter; some places shut for the winter. Big-city sights operate all year.
