When Henry Ford visited the Cotswolds in the early 20th century, he was so infatuated by one row of old stone cottages, he attempted to have it shipped back to the USA.

Our specialists are well-acquainted with this version of England, but they can also help you explore its many other faces. These include the modern cityscape of London, a capital forced to redefine itself after the Blitz of World War II, where royal palaces are only a stone’s throw from millennial architecture and contemporary art galleries. They can tailor-make your trip to take in England’s multi-layered history, from the mysterious Neolithic monoliths of Stonehenge and Avebury, to Roman ramparts and Georgian Bath.
