Planning UK daytrips can be a difficult task when you think of the vast number of places to go and things to see. But if you'd like to take in as much as you can in one day, why not consider excursions by coach that allow you to explore numerous different places in a matter of hours? If you enjoy visiting picturesque location, day trips in the UK to Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds can be a great idea. Take in the ancient sights at the university city of Oxford and journey on to Stratford-upon-Avon to visit the birthplace of its most famous resident - William Shakespeare. The Cotswolds is a popular spot if you'd like to enjoy some quintessential English charm in pleasant scenery and why not finish the day off with a tasty cream tea? Meanwhile, if you'd prefer to take in some historic locations in the world of academia, combine your visit to Oxford with a stop at Eton, where princes William and Harry were educated. Afterwards, why not continue on to the royal borough of Windsor? You can visit the palace here - the queen's official residence - and explore the state rooms and St George's chapel, as well as take a look at Queen Mary's Dolls House. Head on to Oxford for a walking tour of the city and don't forget to call in at Christ Church College to view the dining room where scenes from the Harry Potter movies were filmed. If you'd like to see some ancient landmarks, you might prefer to tour the areas of Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Avebury and Chalice Well during your daytrip. Visit the mystical stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury and head on to Avalon and Glastonbury Abbey, where King Arthur and Queen Guinevere's are supposedly buried, to learn more about the myths and legends surrounding the medieval couple. You should just be able to fit in a trip to the Chalice Well Gardens to sample some water from the Magical Red Spring, although you might prefer a drink at the nearby Red Lion Pubs - apparently one of England's most haunted.
