Day Tour Highlights:

On this tour we will explore the best landscapes the west of England has to offer.

The rolling limestone hills of the Cotswolds, the ancient Neolithic sites of Wessex and the Georgian splendour of the city of Bath.»


Roman Baths Bath
Roman Baths at Bath
Tour runs every Tuesday
After leaving London behind we take the old coach road to Bath, through Hungerford, Marlborough, along the Kennet valley and through the Savernake Forest. Evidence of this once important route lies all around us, historic coaching inns, chalk hill figures cut into the downland, obscure monuments to long forgotten characters and a subtle change in the landscape as we head into the golden stone villages of the Cotswold and Mendip hills.
Lacock
Our first stop will be in Lacock, a perfectly preserved village, now owned by the National Trust and often used as a backdrop to such films as the Cranford Chronicles, Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter.

Lacock is a living breathing village with school, pubs, post office etc. but is owned by the National Trust who rent out the properties.
The National Trust maintain the properties most of which date back to medieval times when Lacock was a thriving wool village. No street lights, aerials etc. will you find here.

After a guided walking tour there will be free time to explore and take morning coffee.

The tour continues to Bath, only about 30 minutes away
.

Typical House At Lacock
Bath
Visitors have been coming to Bath for centuries, owing to the hot springs that bubble up to the surface at several locations in the city.
A constant temperature of 46.5C, the only warm springs in the country, meant that Bath became the important Roman resort of Aqua Sulis during the time of their occupation nearly 2,000 years ago.

The city was beautifully reinvented in the 18th century when it became the fashionable place to see and be seen. Elegant crescents, squares and terraces were built as the rich and famous travelled from London for 'the season' and relieve themselves of gout, rheumatic pain and stiffness of the joints.

Bath Abbey
The fully guided tour of the city includes admission to the Roman Baths museum and a tour of the highlights of Georgian Bath, including the Royal Crescent, Royal Circus and the Assembly Rooms.

After lunch and free time we meet up again and travel through mysterious Wessex, taking the back roads, through villages of flintstone and thatch and onwards to Salisbury Plain and the enigmatic circle of Stonehenge
Stonehenge
Facts and theories abound at this ancient site, where and why, who were the builders, what was it used for?

During our guided tour we learn about the different periods of building stretching back 5,000 years, we learn of the people that worship there and of the various ideas of its alignments and purpose.


Stonehenge
It is here, amongst the stone age landscape of Wiltshire, that we end our tour before returning to London.
Tour departs every Tuesday from Central London between 07:30 & 8.00.
Returns to London before 19:00.

The International Friends Tours Difference
International Friends Tours are the only mainstream operator of day tours from London operating small group minibuses daily throughout the year.
The maximum number of passengers is 16 and you get a guide offering a much more accessible and personalised experience than the big tours.
Unlike the big buses, International Friends make a point of exploring the country lanes, not the main highways, so you see the real England.
