Top Two-Day Trips from London: Unplug, Unwind, and Explore

As enchanting as London’s iconic winding roads and historical sites, it calls for a break from the daily work life. A breath of fresh sea breeze or the peacefulness of the countryside, asks one to organize great two-day trips from London to all destinations. Therefore, the given below are perfect two-day trips out of London for a rejuvenating getaway.

1. Bath and Stonehenge: A Journey Back in Time

Bath is a city located two hours away from London. It is a city that has buildings that date back to the Roman Empire and some that are built in a Georgian style. It has buildings all around the streets made of the same golden-colored rocks that would take one back in time. Picture arriving in the late midday, as the ambient noise of the hustle and bustle of the city fills in during the walks towards the Roman Baths. Centuries back, the Baths where hot, mineral-laden water is provided naturally into the building, have been in use. Even now reaching out and immersing into those warm and rich waters almost seems impossible to achieve in modern society.  

Having enjoyed a filling meal at one of Bath’s picturesque-looking pubs, it is time to stretch your legs and take a short walk to The Royal Crescent fused with Pulteney Bridge, some of the most remarkable backgrounds of British history. Our S-class chauffeur service also pick-ups or drop-offs to your hotels in the walking range of such places to discover every bit of Bath and pleasant easily.  

The subsequent day takes you a short forty-five-minute drive from Bath to the magnificent Stonehenge. The most standing stones are believed to have been built in the year 3000 BC but history has never adequately explained their significance. It is breathtaking to see the structure at dawn, with the day’s first rays glimmering through the rocks, and with our London chauffeur service, you will comfortably enjoy this magic without any hassles. The mid-afternoon finds you seated ready to head back to London, filled with photographs on your mobile, and lots of thoughts racing in your head about the experiences you had.

2. The Cotswolds: Countryside Bliss and Rustic Charm

The Cotswolds, often branded as the ‘heart of England’, provides curvilinear hills, enchanting settlements, a leisurely approach, and a lifestyle that is miles apart from London. Begin your two-day trip from London with a V-Class chauffeur service for just two hours from the city, and before long, you get to deep tropics filled with rich greenery and towns with names like Stow on the World and Bourton on the Water.

Visualize strolling in Bibury which is often referred to as ‘England’s most beautiful village’ with Arlington Row of ancient cottages found in the fairytale book. LB Travel helps arrange accommodation in either local B & Bs or charming inns in order to make your getaway complete. By the luminosity of the lady's afternoon, you would be nestling over the tea cups by an old fire while enjoying the peace of the gorgeous unobtrusive countryside.

On the second day, you are free to venture into some distance further with a visit to Chipping Campden and Broadway Tower which is another eighteenth-century marvel of architecture built in the likeness of a surrounding landscape. As an option for the already extraordinary vacation, you may offer a hike or a cycle past the picturesque hills. As darkness approaches the sun causes the horizons to blush and the fields become a pale gold, it is the perfect recipe to fall in love with the countryside. Though coming back to London is not pleasant, the peace which you have acquired in the short time spent in the Cotswolds will not fade away soon.

3. Brighton and the South Downs: Coastal Adventure Meets Scenic Trails

For surf lovers, a two-day trip to Brighton and the South Downs satisfies one’s yearning for both sun and trekking. The free-spirited nature of Brighton fused with the well-known Brighton Pier and its amazing Lanes is a great way to kick off your mini getaway. Or even take a relaxing walk by the pebbled beach as you watch the sunset or have fun on the pier that is full of amusement rides and food vendors; the city’s buzzing activity is a breath of fresh air from the city of London.

The second day provides an opportunity to explore the wild side at South Downs National Park which is a 20-minute drive away from Brighton. This extensive region comprises some amazing attractions such as meandering paths, expansive upland draws, and the picturesque Seven Sister Cliffs which gives a breathtaking coastal view of England. With an executive transfer to London, this beautiful space will be available to you throughout the day, and you will be informed about the best trails to take and where to find the best picnic views. As one looks down the cliffs overlooking the channel, the scene is overwhelmingly impressive and hard to define in words.

4. Oxford and Blenheim Palace: An Intellectual and Cultural Getaway

With just a little over an hour from central London, Oxford offers a melting pot of academic success and historic appeal. Embark on the long trip by first getting a glimpse of the magnificent structures that make up Oxford University. It does get better though, as you will also have the opportunity to visit Bodleian Library and walk inside Christ Church College which could be termed as a real-life version of the European Harry Potter School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

At the end of the exhausting day filled with exploration, an individual looking to recharge is likely to settle for a charming little establishment that is conveniently located in the heart of the city such that one can tour the sites of Oxford to the fullest. One shall visit the astonishing Blenheim Palace, the UNESCO World Heritage site where Sir Winston Churchill was born, and a remarkable Palace.

There is no need to panic about the means of transport as the time-consuming wandering around the palace grounds will not be a problem because of the door-to-door London hourly chauffeur.
