Wonders of Wiltshire & Somerset

Friday

Beautiful Bath is today's destination. The city has remained faithful to its Regency roots, with an abundance of elegant terraces, circuses and squares in a picturesque valley setting. The magnificent Royal Crescent is a must-see and the central square is home not only to Bath Abbey, but also the ancient Roman Baths. The city has an excellent selection of shops; especially along the Pulteney Bridge, one of only four bridges in the world to feature shops across its full span on both sides. From here it is a short drive to the Leigh Park Hotel at Bradford-on-Avon.

Saturday

Explore Bradford on Avon, a small historic town in the county of Wiltshire, just eight miles from Bath. It is a pretty destination with several interesting historic sights and picturesque streets and buildings to admire. Our day continues with an afternoon visit to Wells. Situated in Somerset, this medieval city is the smallest in England. The Cathedral Church is set in the middle of the city and was erected between the 12th and 15th centuries. Bishop's Palace, and its accompanying Bishop's House, is still home to the Bishop of Bath and Wells and is situated adjacent to the Cathedral. (Entrance not included).

Sunday

Departing after breakfast, we journey south over the Salisbury Plain and head to Stonehenge - the best known pre-historic monument in Europe. Explore the ancient landscape on foot and step inside the Neolithic Houses to discover the tools and objects of everyday Neolithic life. Visit the world-class exhibition and visitor centre with 250 ancient objects and come face to face with a 5,500-year-old man. We continue to our hotel in the afternoon for our 2-night stay.
