Stonehenge, Bath, Cotswolds, Stratford‐upon‐Avon from London

Depart your central London meeting point by air‐conditioned coach, and journey out into the leafy English countryside.  Make your first stop at UNESCO World Heritage‐listed Stonehenge, one of the world’s best‐known prehistoric monuments. Rising up from Salisbury Plain, this remarkable stone circle dates back some 4,500 years and is generally thought to have been a temple that marked the movements of the sun. On arrival, head inside the site complex with its visitor center, collect an audio guide, and visit the massive stone circle to experience its size and symmetry close up. Ponder the mysteries that surround the edifice, and learn the theories as to how the stones were transported and then raised here. Next, continue to the delightful, UNESCO‐protected spa city of Bath, famous for its elegant Georgian 18th‐century architecture and connections with 18th‐ and 19th‐century novelist Jane Austen. Take a panoramic tour to admire the honey‐stoned mansions, terraces, and bridges, and enjoy a little free time to stroll around the cobbled streets at leisure, time permitting. Back aboard your coach, travel deep into the Cotswolds, a region of rolling hills, green pastures, and stone‐built villages that are considered perhaps the loveliest in England. Soak up the gorgeous views of the lush fields honeycombed with dry stone walls, and pass through bustling market towns crowned by impressive churches. Arrive in the charm‐laden town of Stratford‐upon‐Avon, the birthplace of England’s greatest playwright, William Shakespeare, and home to the famous Royal Shakespeare Company. Take in the half‐timbered houses and Avon River that winds through the town. Then, enjoy a visit to Shakespeare's Schoolroom before strolling around Stratford’s quaint center. When your visit to Stratford ends, return to your coach and drive back to London where your tour concludes. Please note: on busy days, the order of the activities, as shown above, may be subject to change.

Depart from central London by air‐conditioned coach and journey west into the scenic county of Wiltshire toward Salisbury Plain, the site of UNESCO‐listed Stonehenge. As you travel, listen as your guide shares fascinating facts about this prehistoric monument: a 4,500‐year‐old stone circle that many scholars believe was built as a temple aligned to the movements of the sun. On arrival, head inside the site and stroll around the monument’s perimeter as you consider how the gigantic stones were transported here and then raised into place. After posing for photos in front of the stones, explore the state‐of‐the‐art visitor center to discover its archaeological displays and audio‐visual walkthroughs. Then, continue your journey to the 18th‐century spa city of Bath. Famous for its natural hot springs that were enjoyed by the Romans, as well as for its Georgian architecture and associations with the 18th‐century novelist, Jane Austen, this lovely city is one of England’s greatest treasures. During your journey, learn about Bath’s history, and when you arrive, take an introductory walking tour.
