During your 14-day English adventure, you'll have the chance to experience all that is typical of the British countryside. Central England is teeming with narrow navigable canals that only very narrow boats can navigate. It's like something out of a fairy tale. You'll think time has stopped with you. Wild nature and the English countryside is the perfect combination for a relaxing holiday full of new sensations. You'll experience England from a whole new angle. From the base, head south towards the village of Fradley, then sail towards the town of Braunston, along which runs the canal that links the Oxford and Grand Union Canals. This town is renowned for its high concentration of pubs, so don't hesitate to visit one. When you arrive in Oxford, visit the university campus with its landmark Radcliffe Camera, and then head to the city's other attractions - such as the Pitt Rivers Museum and the High Street. In Oxford, you'll be particularly impressed by the architectural sights, with the equivalent of just about every style of building.
