Things to Do in Bath

Bath is situated in the isle of Somerset and has the only natural spring in all of Great Britain. Indeed, for centuries, Bath was famous as the center of a hot spring for the Romans. From the Elizabethan until the Georgian era, Bath was mostly for the rich, which resulted in a unique collection of Georgian architecture (most notably, the Satellite Crescent). In 1987, the city was declared a World Heritage Site. With plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as some of Britain's finest independent shops, Bath is the ideal city break destination.

Embark on a journey that blends the intellectual fervour of Oxford with the tranquillity and beauty of the Cotswolds. Spend a day exploring these cobbled streets and discover the untold stories hiding around every bend We all know Bath is beautiful, but you don't need to fret that you're leaving it behind this morning. Why? Because where you're headed is just as stunning, with rich history and incredible architecture. After passing through North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you arrive in Oxford. She's an old lass, founded in the 9th century. But it's her age that makes her beautiful. She's got a lot of memories worn into her roads and buildings. Did you know that she was largely protected during World War II? Hitler wanted to make Oxford the capital of England after defeating it. If that doesn't tell you how striking this city is, we don't know what will. Here you have time to explore the precincts of the many colleges, climb to the vantage points to admire the skyline, or see the art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum. Next you stop in Burford , the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. This is a proud little market town. The main street is lined with all those quaint properties that you’ve dreamt of owning. You have time here to take in the local charm and hospitality; and if you’re hungry, you can try a traditional English ‘Afternoon Tea’. Then, you make the short journey to Bibury . This place was described by William Morris as the prettiest village in England, and Henry Ford wanted to dismantle it and ship it back to the USA. You have time here to stroll to the famous and fairytale-like Arlington Row. After a full day exploring the city of Oxford and the villages of the Cotswolds, you embark on the comfortable return journey to Bath.

We know what you’re thinking. You’re already in beautiful Bath, how can it possibly get much better? That’s what we love about England’s countryside... there are so many hamlets to discover. And one of those is our first stop of the tour today: the historic city of Salisbury. At the heart of this picturesque destination is Salisbury Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built between the 12th and 13th centuries and just so happens to have a claim to fame. With an elegant spire that rises to 404 feet, this is the tallest spire in the United Kingdom. Inside this stunning cathedral is intricate medieval stonework, wondrous stained-glass windows... and the Magna Carta (or the ‘great charter’ in Latin). Ever heard of it? It’s one of the most important legal documents in English history, and now is your time to see it for yourself. Back on the bus, we head along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset to our next destination ... one that’s been waiting for you for millions of years. The stone arch known as Durdle Door might just be one of the most famous in the world. Boasting its own beautiful beach and stunning sea views, this really takes the cake for ‘breathtaking’. You may even recognize it from productions such as Nanny McPhee and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Our next stop is just down the road... and kind of looks like a scallop seashell come to life. Lulworth Cove’s horseshoe-shaped bay is a true natural beauty. Surrounded by cliffs of limestone and chalk, the clear blue waters actually sparkle on a sunny day and create a tranquil atmosphere no matter the weather. So, keep your cameras ready as we cruise along the Jurassic Coast stopping for photos at these iconic locations. Along this route, we’ll also stop for a lunch break. You’ve likely heard of Glastonbury already. The Glastonbury Festival is an iconic celebration that many wait years to finally attend. However, when the music stops, and the city grows quiet... you’ll hear something else whispering around its streets. Myths, legends, history, spirituality... that’s the heart of Glastonbury. We’re just dipping our toes in with a quick visit, but you’ll discover pretty quickly how special this place is. Enjoy a little wander and take in the quaint shops before we head back to Bath.
