From Heathrow to??
 
Is it possible to take a day trip from Heathrow directly to a destination in England without going into London?? (As you can with Roissy in Paris)<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Beth

Yes, e.g. Bath.<BR>Buses there are about every 2 hours

Oxford would be another easy one.

You could take a taxi to Windsor, it's not very far.

To go west or south,you could either take bus to Reading or Woking, then change to trains. To go north, it is still more convenient to go through London. The bus station in Heathrew has direct buses to many places.

Thanks, Folks. That being answered, can someone recommend a destination that would be 1 to 1 1/2 hours from Heathrow. (I have no idea how far Bath or Oxford would be.)<BR><BR>Many thanks again.<BR><BR>Beth<BR>
