Wiltshire & Oxford with your class
Stonehenge and the Avebury stone circle bring prehistoric Britain to life in a way that no museum can replicate. The activity centre programme builds resilience, cooperation, and self-confidence across two full days. The contrast between the ancient landscape of the Wiltshire plain and the medieval splendour of Oxford's college buildings gives the week a satisfying historical arc — from Bronze Age standing stones to nine centuries of university learning.
On the Move holds ABELIO safety certification and operates to L'Office quality assurance standards — every trip is managed by a dedicated project manager with 24/7 emergency support.
Trip highlights
Two of Europe's most significant prehistoric monuments — Avebury allows children to walk freely among the stones and touch them, something that makes the history immediately real
High ropes, archery, zip line, orienteering, and team challenges — confidence-building in a safe, expert-led environment across two full days
The colleges, the Bodleian Library, the covered market, and a city that has shaped Western thought for nine centuries — a first glimpse of what a university city looks and feels like
