🇬🇧 I Discovered a Fairytale Town Near London! ✨🏰

📍 Oxford University Town (9:00-11:00) 🚗 London → Oxford | 1.5h drive ▪ Christ Church College (£16/person) Step into the Harry Potter Great Hall and touch the "study-worn" tables (smoother than aged walnuts! 😆). Hidden gem: Find the 17th-century "skipping-class cat" carving on the third pillar of the East Cloister (medieval students slacked off too!)8. ▪ Bodleian Library 📖 (exterior only) Sneak pics of stressed students cramming for exams. Instagram caption idea: "Oxford lawns: Dogs ❌ | Pigeon poop ✅ Very British." 📍 Bibury Village (12:00-12:40) 🚗 Oxford → Bibury | 1h drive 🏡 Living like Versailles villagers ▪ Arlington Row Snap pics of 500-year-old honey-stone cottages (caption: "My uncle’s countryside estate" 😏). Pro photo hack: Crouch on the bridge for leg-lengthening water reflections (Kardashian-worthy!). 🦆 Village oddity: 13:00 Duck Parade – Watch ducks bathe in military formation (more organized than your boss’s plans). Caption gold: "Ducks live in heritage homes; I rent. The struggle is real." 📍 Bourton-on-the-Water (13:00-14:00) – Cotswolds’ Postcard Spot 🚗 Bibury → Bourton | 15mins drive 🚤 Best free activities: ▪ Model Village (£4.5/person) Lie down for 1:9 miniature house shots (find the drunk statue outside the pub!). Free hack: Pose on the stone bridge with "Cotswolds’ luckiest charm" vibes. 📍 Slaughter Village (14:30-15:10) 🚗 Bourton → Slaughter | 10mins drive 🐑 Rural Versailles ▪ Lower Slaughter Wool Mill Meet posh sheep with salon-worthy middle parts and dainty grass-eating manners. ▪ Carbs Alert: Grab buttery scones (£2) at the Old Mill Tea Room (sold out by 3 PM!). Savage caption: "Sheep use conditioner; I use Wish. I lost." 🚗 15:30 – Return to London End your day with tired feet, a full camera roll, and bragging rights! ⚠ Pro Tips: 1️⃣ Christ Church tickets sell out! Book 2 days early or suffer longer than payday waits8. 2️⃣ Lighting rules: Oxford mornings = Moody scholar aesthetic 📚 Cotswolds after 2 PM = Golden "honey-butter" glow 🍯 #UKTravel #Cotswolds #DayTripFromLondon #BritishVillages #HarryPotter #FairytaleEngland 🇬🇧✨
