SAMPLE BRITISH REFORMATION TOUR ITINERARY
This enchanting city is nestled between ancient castles and vibrant streets. Welcome your group to Scotland as you enjoy your first meal together. Use this dinner to celebrate your arrival and prepare your group for the incredible experience that’s beginning.
The crisscrossed alleyways and ancient walls of this medieval city will lead you to the heart of the Scottish Reformation. The towering cliffs of Holyrood Park and nearby graveyards tell the story of John Knox’s crucial role in British history. Deliver a powerful message in this historical paradise.
Situated between Scotland’s Highlands and Lowlands, Stirling saw the bravery of both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. As you stand where they fought and where, in Perth, St. John’s Kirk fought against the Greyfriars and Blackfriars, take a moment to ignite your group’s passion for God’s Word and the ministry of Christ to heal and set captives free.
A gorgeous country drive will take you to York, where you will visit one of the largest gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe and walk picturesque paths lined with 600-year-old buildings. Savor a traditional English lunch with your group members as you reflect on all God is speaking to your hearts.
Visit Epworth Old Rectory, the birthplace of the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, and his brother Charles Wesley, a renowned hymn writer. The well-known imagery of The Pilgrim’s Progress will never be more vivid than when you read from its pages in Bedford, where John Bunyan wrote it during a 12-year imprisonment. Pause in St. Paul’s Church to pray and admire its stunning architecture and stained glass windows.
Sing Amazing Grace with your congregation as you deepen your knowledge of its author, John Newton, who collaborated with poet William Cowper to write the hymn. The Cowper & Newton Museum offers insights into the abolitionist movement and Newton’s life—from slave trader to abolitionist and minister.
Enjoy a scenic green-hilled drive to Oxford, where your guide will walk you through the stone-walled streets of this famous university city. Reflect on the sacrifice of martyrs who died for their faith, and challenge your group to live with the same fervor.
Spend the final days of your tour in one of the greatest cities in the world. Enjoy iconic sights like St. Paul’s Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666, which barely survived the Blitz during World War II. The English Reformation will come alive as you hear your voice echo through Westminster Abbey imploring your congregation to live out the legacies they have seen.
