Description 

No tour to the UK would be complete without visiting the famous Stonehenge. Standing on Salisbury Hill, their presence is shrouded in mystery and has baffled scientists and scholars for years. Their origin and the reason for their existence is largely unknown although there is much speculation of course. Seeing the stones up close really gives you an insight as to why they provoke such debate. They are truly magnificent to behold and the experience is a magical one and not to be missed. 

 

Next up is a visit to Salisbury to the see probably the finest medieval cathedral in Britain. The cathedral with its’ magnificent architecture is 800 years old and has an amazing spire of 123m (404ft) high. You will also get to see  the Magna Carta from 1215, which is the famous agreement between King John and his barons at Runnymede and is part of the early process leading to modern constitutional law. The Cathedral is awe inspiring to visit and immense in size, seating 1900 people.

Lunch = Optional (with Tour 8L)
Lunch for a little extra will be at a historic pub in Salisbury

After lunch is a panoramic tour of Bath. This Georgian city stands on the slopes of the River Avon. As a world heritage site, it is a city untouched and unspoilt. With so much history here, there is much to see including Bath Abbey which was the location for the crowning of the first British King in 973AD. You will also see the famous Pulteney Bridge that crosses the River Avon. It was built in 1773 by Robert Adam.

We will be stopping at the famous Roman Baths, one of the finest thermal spas of the ancient world. Below street level, the Baths consist of the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple and the Roman Bath House. Another great opportunity on this tour is the torch lighting ceremony when torches around the Roman Baths are lit ad dusk (except in summer).

Tour Description

Two options of the Bath and Private Viewing of Stonehenge tour are available, with lunch (Tour 24L) or without lunch (Tour 24).

Book the Bath and Private Viewing of Stonehenge tour and enjoy the unique experience of getting close to the magical Stonehenge. This historical monument has been standing on Salisbury Hill for nearly 5000 years and is one of the most popular attractions for the tourist. Unlike standard visitors to Stonehenge who can only view the structure from the outer perimeter fence, with a private viewing you are allowed entry into the stone circle to really appreciate the mystery of this great monolith.

After this experience, enjoy the Georgian city of Bath which is famous for its’ Roman Baths, the best preserved Spa from the ancient world. Enjoy a panoramic tour of the City to see Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge. Jane Austen lived in Bath and much of this city is homage to one of England’s finest writers. Two of Austen’s novels were mainly set in Bath so you can visit the same places that her heroines go to in ‘Northanger Abbey’ and ‘Persuasion’, including the famous Pump Room. Everything is still very much the same as it would have been then; the wonderful old cobbled streets and magnificent architecture that are protected as a World Heritage site.

This tour returns to London at 9.30pm.

Bath and Private Viewing of Stonehenge is available on Tuesdays only.
