Want to see Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath, with more time at each location? Join our full-day guided tour from London to three of England's most iconic heritage sites.
Your day begins at Windsor Castle, perched high above the River Thames just outside London. With over 900 years of royal history, this is the largest continuously occupied castle in the world, home to 40 successive monarchs from William the Conqueror to King Charles III. As one of the first groups to enter each morning, you'll enjoy the splendour of St George's Chapel, the final resting place of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the magnificent State Apartments before the crowds arrive. Windsor itself is a charming town full of traditional shops and historic pubs. Shakespeare is said to have written The Merry Wives of Windsor in one of them!
Next, your coach continues to the beautiful Georgian city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of sweeping crescents, honey-coloured stone terraces and Roman heritage. Following a panoramic tour of the city, you'll have free time to visit Bath Abbey, stroll across Pulteney Bridge and watch the river Avon cascade over the weir below. Why not explore the boutique shops, or enjoy afternoon tea in the elegant Pump Rooms while listening to the resident string quartet?
Why not upgrade to visit the 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.
The final stop is the most iconic prehistoric monument on earth. Standing alone on the vast expanse of Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge dates back nearly 5,000 years and remains one of the world's great unsolved mysteries. Was it a temple to the sun, an observatory of the moon, or an elaborate ancient cemetery? Who were the people who transported and carved these 40-tonne stones? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this extraordinary feat of ancient engineering.
This is the best choice if you'd like to see three of the most popular visitor destinations with a bit more time spent at each location, compared to our Windsor, Stonehenge, Lacock and Bath tour.
