Looking for a Stonehenge and Bath day trip from London at a more relaxed pace? Join our full-day guided tour with more free time to explore Bath in depth.
The most famous prehistoric monument in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast, empty plain of Salisbury. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years, and it has been the subject of public debate and spiritual fascination ever since. Was it a temple to the sun, an observatory of the moon, or an elaborate ancient cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40-tonne stones? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this extraordinary feat of ancient engineering and design.
Next, you'll head to the beautiful Georgian city of Bath, arriving in time for lunch. With fabulous restaurants, tea houses, sandwich and coffee shops, plus all the classic British pubs, you'll be spoilt for choice of places to eat. Following a scenic drive into the heart of the city, you'll have plenty of free time to explore Bath at your leisure — visit the Roman Baths, built nearly 2,000 years ago, or see Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge overlooking the river Avon cascading over the weir. There's also the Jane Austen Centre and the elegant Assembly Rooms, built in 1771. Why not shop, explore, or enjoy afternoon tea in the Pump Rooms while listening to live classical music? With so much to see and do, you'll be glad of all the free time.
Why not upgrade your visit to include the Roman Baths or the Jane Austen Centre?
Roman Baths: Built nearly 2,000 years ago on Britain's only natural hot water spring, this magnificent Roman public bath complex and temple sits at the heart of the World Heritage Site. Walk around the steaming pool on the original Roman stone paving and admire the ancient statues and architecture.
Jane Austen Centre: One of Bath's best-known former residents, Jane Austen wrote some of English literature's most celebrated novels, including Pride and Prejudice. Housed in an original Georgian townhouse, the Centre brings Georgian Bath to life with costumed character guides eager to share their knowledge of the era.
This is the best choice for those who would like to see Stonehenge and explore Bath in depth, with up to 3.5 hours spent in the city.
