Day Trips from London: Stonehenge, Windsor, Bath, Oxford & the Cotswolds
The classic London day trip is the triple: Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath on one 11-hour coach day with admission included (from $75), or Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford for the university instead of the Roman Baths. If you only want one place, Stonehenge and Bath together (from $74) give more time at each, and the inner-circle access tours enter the stone ring itself before or after public hours. The Cotswolds are a different day: honey-stone villages like Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold on a small-group tour (from $94), often with Blenheim Palace or Oxford. Windsor alone is a half day (from $46). All leave central London between 7 and 8:30 am; book the Stonehenge and Harry Potter tours a couple of weeks ahead in summer.

Day Trips in London — FAQ
What are the best day trips from London?
Stonehenge with Windsor Castle and Bath (the best-selling combination), the Cotswolds, Oxford, Cambridge, Windsor Castle on its own and the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio. Paris by Eurostar and Canterbury with the White Cliffs of Dover are the next tier.
Can you visit Stonehenge, Windsor and Bath in one day?
Yes — it is the most-booked tour from London: Windsor Castle in the morning, Stonehenge after lunch and Bath in the late afternoon, back around 8 pm. Coach transport and Stonehenge admission are included; Windsor Castle entry is usually an add-on. From $75 it is also cheaper than the train fares to do it yourself.
Is a Cotswolds day trip from London worth it?
Yes, and only really possible with a tour, since the villages have almost no public transport. Small-group days (from $94) visit three or four of Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford and Castle Combe, with a pub lunch stop; add Blenheim Palace or Oxford for a fuller day. Spring and early autumn are the prettiest.
