London and the Countryside

Nine days in England trace a satisfying arc from London's dense layers of history outward through the coastal energy of Brighton and the Roman-Georgian elegance of Bath, before arriving in Stratford-upon-Avon to close the loop on the English literary tradition that ran through the entire trip. The through-line here is language — how the English-speaking world got its voice, from Shakespeare's quill to a West End stage — and students feel that thread tighten with every stop.
