Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Stratford-upon-Avon is well worth a detour. Located 18 miles from Upper Oddington, it has some wonderful attractions, such as Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Swan Theatre. Nothing says living large like a road trip does, so keep on driving to Oxford. It’s 20 miles away and also features a few worthwhile sights, such as Ashmolean Museum and Christ Church College.
