Your first stop is Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s most famous prehistoric landmarks. Resonating with intrigue, the stone circle is believed to date back around 5,000 years old and built from a rare Welsh stone at a time when transporting heavy rocks would have been impossible. With your included entrance ticket, head straight to the stones to stroll around with your guide and pose for photos. The circle is roped off from the crowds for preservation, but a footpath around the outside of the stones lends itself to clear and close-up views.
Continue to nearby Lacock, a picturesque village that dates back to the Saxon era. Enjoy a walking tour with your guide, and see sites used as filming locations in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as well as the TV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The village is also home to the 14th-century George Inn: your lunch venue. Enjoy traditional British food and drinks during a leisurely meal with your guide.
Then, travel to Bath in Somerset to enjoy your afternoon. Named and famed for its historical hot springs, the elegant city has been a popular destination since Roman times. Follow your guide on a walking tour around the center, and see the UNESCO-listed Roman Baths that were built some 2,000 years ago, as well as the famous Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and Bath Abbey — all built in creamy Somerset stone.
If time permits, enjoy some time to yourself in Bath and scout out the antique shops, independent boutiques and tearooms that make the city such as popular place to visit. In the late afternoon, travel back to the capital, and finish your day trip with a hotel drop-off.
