Explore England like a royal—complete with a stay at a famous country estate.

From regal urban residences to age-old hamlets cropping up in the countryside, Southern England merits a trip for itself—and that’s before taking London into account. This tour hits it all: Get swept from the English capital to the undulating plains and cobbled lanes of Salisbury, Bath, and Oxford; if that isn’t enough, spend a final night on the grounds of Ashridge House, a storied property that has hosted royals and celebrities over the centuries. Keep basking in British beauty and history on this trip’s extension to Canterbury and Kent, and discover why the latter’s lovingly referred to as “the garden of England.”
