Tour Itinerary:
The Lacock, Bath & Stonehenge tour from London is a delightful tour with full visits to two world heritage attractions plus some of the best of the English countryside where we take advantage of the small bus to go where the big buses cannot. All in all a varied and rewarding day.
The first leg out of London is the longest of the day. During that time the size of the group should mean you have got to know your guide and are on first name terms?
The first stop is Lacock, a medieval village gem and the descent into Lacock is a highlight of the day too. After a walking tour of Lacock its onto Bath only 30 minutes away, its getting towards lunch time now. After a "best of Bath" orientation tour in the bus you are led into the Roman Baths, the most popular single attraction in Bath included with the tour. Early afternoon we're off again for another scenic hour to Stonehenge, our last stop of the day.

The Small Group Tour Difference
On this tour you will be travelling with no more than 16 other people - guaranteed! Our purpose-built minibuses have large windows, good air circulation and clear PA systems so that your professional guide can escort you comfortably through our wonderful countryside.
The small group size means you are not subjected to long hotel pick-up journeys around London and as a small group the guide can offer a more personalised guiding service. So don't hang back, ask your questions and you'll be helping the guide tune their commentaries to the interest of the group on board that day, every group is different!
Another advantage of a small bus is we can go places the big tours cannot and wherever possible we'll head off down a country lane to to show some hidden gem.
Lacock, Bath & Stonehenge Tour - What To Expect
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
 |
The Roman Baths at Bath |
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.
After a guided walking tour there will be free time to explore and take morning coffee before we continue towards the Avon valley and the city of Bath.
Bath
Its just 30 minutes drive from Lacock to to the golden limestone-clad city of Bath. People have been coming to Bath for centuries owing to the hot springs that bubble up to the surface at several locations in the city. At a constant temperature of 46.5C, the only hot springs in the country, the Romans enjoyed this place when they settled here almost 2,000 years ago, naming the resort Aqua Sulis.
The city was beautifully re-invented 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" to relieve themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.
This fully guided tour 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.
Stonehenge
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.
 |
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.
Its late afternoon when we leave Stonehenge for the almost 2 hour journey back to London.
