The fourth installment in Roger Mason's renowned Great Railway Journeys series, Great Railway Journeys: London to Oxford and London to Cambridge, takes us on a captivating journey through the picturesque landscapes and historical landmarks along the railway routes from London to these two renowned university cities.
The London to Oxford line boasts a remarkable array of sights, beginning with Brunel's magnificent bridge over the Thames at Maidenhead. This engineering marvel showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Victorian era. Additionally, the Didcot Railway Centre stands as a living museum, preserving the rich history of the Great Western Railway. Within this remarkable site, the story unfolds of how the author of a world-famous book, who had inadvertently left his manuscript in a café at Reading Station, went home and painstakingly rewrote it from memory.
As we continue our journey, the London to Cambridge line presents us with a treasure trove of attractions. Mountfitchet Castle, a magnificent replica of the one that once stood on the same site shortly after the reign of William the Conqueror, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the region. Moreover, the Eleanor Cross at Waltham Cross, erected by Edward I in the 1290s as a tribute to his late wife, Eleanor of Castile, adds a touch of historical significance to the route.
Each leg of this railway journey offers a unique blend of natural beauty, architectural marvels, and captivating anecdotes, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking an adventure, Great Railway Journeys: London to Oxford and London to Cambridge is a must-watch series that will transport you to a world of wonder and discovery.
