The heartland of England has sights that put the "Great" in Britain — its venerable universities, its royal heritage, and reminders of its industrial might.

At Oxford and Cambridge, viewers see where kings and prime ministers studied. At Blenheim Palace — Winston Churchill’s birthplace — host Rick Steves connects with English aristocracy. At Ironbridge Gorge, he fires up memories of the Industrial Revolution.

And all along the way, Rick drives on the left and polishes his pub etiquette.
