England road trip takes in 1,000 years of history and pageantry

Road trips have had a great appeal over the years, with the US a particular favourite destination – but have you thought about a historic road trip with a difference and in the UK?

Guests are being given a unique opportunity to experience a road trip through 1,000 years of English history with a triumvirate of classic period hotels that offer visitors a glamorous look into the past. The three properties with Storied Collection have a combined age of a thousand years and present a fresh interpretation of the olden days of yore.

The 18th-century Rubens at the Palace, a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace (and the site once formerly part of its grounds), the Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath (built between 1767 and 1775 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site), as well was Thornbury Castle (built in 1511 and a former home of Henry VIII), in Gloucestershire, are the three majestic residences in question. And each property offers guests the chance to connect with a different period of history.
