LONDON-OXFORD-STRATFORD UPON-AVON-COVENTRY.

Meet your Tour Director and travelling companions and depart at 8 am for a memorable day of sightseeing. In Oxford, a walking tour takes in the colleges where Britain's elite receive their outstanding education. Then travel through the lovely Cotswold Hills to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon. Take your pictures of Anne Hathaway's Cottage and explore the town at your own pace. Finally, at Coventry, whose centre had to be rebuilt after the devastation of World War II bombings, hear the tale of Lady Godiva and Peeping Tom. (D)

Leave the Midlands and head north to York, England's most complete medieval city.

See a section of Hadrian's Wall, the Roman coast-to-coast defense against marauding northern tribes, then motor through wild Northumberland National Park to the Scottish border. Stop for photos at Jedburgh, with glimpses of the house of Mary, Queen of Scots, and then Melrose with its 12th-century abbey ruins and connections with Robert the Bruce. Afternoon arrival at Edinburgh. Later, a unique optional experience: board the former Royal Yacht Britannia, which for the Queen was once the perfect royal residence for glittering state visits and family holidays. Tour five decks and see how the Royal Family and crew of 240 lived and worked on board. Dinner rounds off this optional evening. For departure numbers 0730 through 0820, tickets are included for tonight's performance of the world-renowned Military Tattoo. (B)
