Maximum 16 passengers

TOURS RUN ALL YEAR ROUND

This is our most popular day tour! Visit England's most beautiful town and one of the world's most iconic prehistoric monuments.     

 

Bath is, perhaps, the most beautiful town in England. It was designed by brilliant architects and built for the elite of 18th century British high society. Rich aristocrats, wealthy industrialists and royalty came to share a sophisticated city enjoying a renewed interest in health spa bathing. The majestic architecture is worth a visit alone but it's the Roman Baths that's the highlight of the city.  

      

Stonehenge is one of the most recognisable monuments of the ancient world. The stone circle is located at the centre of a fascinating landscape filled with prehistoric ceremonial structures. Come and discover who built them and why.

PLAN FOR THE DAY

 

The landscape at Stonehenge is open, grassy countryside so please ensure you are wearing suitable footwear. British weather can change quickly and often so please check the forecast and come prepared for any weather! 

 

0800 We depart from central Cambridge for the journey down to the London region, past Heathrow Airport, and then south-west towards the south coast before heading up on to Salisbury Plain, the location of the majestic monument of Stonehenge. There will be a short comfort break included in the journey.

 

1100 Arrive at Stonehenge. On arrival, we take the 5-minute journey by bus from the Visitor Centre through the Stonehenge landscape to reach the stone circle. Your guide will explain the history and present understanding of the entire Stonehenge region. You will then have free time to explore the site, and time to visit the souvenir shop and exhibition at the Visitor Centre.

 

1315 Depart from Stonehenge. The journey to Bath, first across Salisbury Plain, through picturesque farmland and then down into the wooded valley of the River Avon, is varied, interesting and very different to the landscape of the Cambridge region.

 

1415 Arrive in Bath. Free time to explore the city independently. Don't miss a visit to the fabulous Roman Baths, impressive Bath Abbey, or to take in the picturesque views of the city and the unique Pulteney Bridge from the banks of the River Avon. Later in the afternoon join your guide for the optional walking tour to learn more about the city.
