Day one, leave London and head to Oxford. Park outside Oxford and take the Park and Ride into the city. Wander down The High, look into a few colleges, see the university buildings. Then on into the Cotswolds for the night. Remember driving, particularly off motorways, in Britain is not quick - do not expect to average more than 30 miles per hour off motorways, and in rural areas of Wales this will be lower still
The next day you can wander round the Cotswold villages, then head across the Brecon Beacons in Wales to St David's for the second night.
From St David's and its cathedral you then follow the Pembrokeshire coast north the next morning to Snowdonia for your third night. On day four follow the North Wales coast to Chester. After Chester take the Motorway north to the Lake District for the fourth night
The following morning can be spent driving round the Lakes, before heading east across the Dales to York.for the fifth night
From York head south via the Derbyshire Peaks to the delights of Cambridge.
The next day you can explore Cambridge and take in Norwich if you like, before completing you tour.
