Rick Steves' Europe (2000)

S10E1 The Heart of England

England's heartland boasts attractions that truly embody the greatness of Britain, featuring its historic universities, royal legacy, and evidence of its industrial power. We’ll explore Oxford and Cambridge, where future kings and prime ministers honed their skills. At Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, we’ll immerse ourselves in the world of English nobility. Ironbridge Gorge will remind us of the transformative Industrial Revolution. Throughout our journey, we’ll navigate the roads on the left and refine our pub manners along the way.
