Take this day trip and discovery Glastonbury, a town steeped in legend as well as the Cheddar Gorge, a limestone gorge in Mendip Hills in the beautiful country side county of Somerset. This full day trip includes return luxury mini-coach travel, entrance to Glastonbury Abbey, free time to explore both Cheddar and Glastonbury and the services of a tour manager.
After our central London pickups we depart for Glastonbury, passing through England's smallest Cathedral city of Wells, with an estimated arrival time of around 12pm. You will be given access to Glastonbury Abbey. The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th, before a major fire in 1184 destroyed the buildings. It was rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. After your visit, you will be given free time to explore Glastonbury and to discover all about the legend of King Arthur and the famous Glastonbury Thorn. You may also want to view the remains of St Michael’s church on top of the Tor, destroyed by a medieval earthquake.
At around 2:30pm, we depart for Cheddar. Following its appearance on the 2005 television programme Seven Natural Wonders, Cheddar Gorge was named as the second greatest natural wonder in Britain. Upon arrival, you will be given free time to explore the village, gorge and caves. Perhaps you could visit the famous, Gough's Cave, at 90 metres (295 ft.) deep and is 2.135 kilometres, and it contains the Cheddar Yeo, the largest underground river system in Britain (admission not included).
At approximately 4:30pm we leave Cheddar for our return journey to London. As travel on through the famous Cheddar Gorge, keep a lookout for the wild goats clinging to the cliffs! At approximately 7.45pm we will arrive back in London. We will drop off at Earls Court Tube Station only.
