If you have some days around Tours, then you might visit the magnificently restored medieval Plantagenet city of Le Mans, birthplace of King Henri II and stage set to most historic movies, much more spectacular than Tours. And the quaint little Loir valley, full of farmer's markets, romanesque chapels and romantic gardens, and a bit away from the heavy tourist crowds which are in the immediate vicinity of the famous castles, which are also a must to see, Chenonceau, Amboise, Cheverny, Blois, Chambord, Villandry.
You might wish to take a look at being a guest in our château, which has been in our family, 20 générations unbroken lineage, since 1404. http://chateaudelabarre.com
Since you will have three months in Oxford, the Wolsey Lodges website, or http://www.scotlandmadeeasy.co.uk/ will be full of tips to visit England extensively, while being guests in gentlemans homes, from simple homey to grand estates.
