London: 3-Day Stonehenge, Bath & South West Coast Tour

1. London: 3-Day Stonehenge, Bath & South West Coast Tour

Discover some of the most historic sites in England on a 3-day tour of the southwest, visiting the Roman city of Bath, and center of the Kingdom of Wessex at Exeter. Drive along the preshistoric Jurassic Coast of Dorset, and head into the vast moorland of Dartmoor, a protected national park with exposed granite hilltops. The tour, by comfortable 16-seat minibus, also includes time at Stonehenge, the most famous stone circle in England, and a chance to climb Glastonbury Tor. Day 1: Depart London for the old Kingdom of Wessex en route to the famous Neolithic standing stone circle of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. Explore the mystical stones, which continue to confound historians to this day. Next, head for the dramatic south coast of Dorset, enjoying the panoramic views over white sand beaches, and the natural rock arch of Durdle Door. Spend the afternoon on the Jurassic Coast before driving to the historic city of Exeter, which was the most southwesterly fortified settlement of the ancient Roman Empire. You will be based here for the next 2 nights. Day 2: Enjoy a morning exploring the wilderness of Dartmoor, including the ancient "Clapper Bridge" at Postbridge. Go to the market town of Tavistock, where Francis Drake used to live. Return to Exeter in the early afternoon to explore the Roman town’s underground passages and ancient walls. Visit the renovated Royal Albert Memorial Museum to find fascinating sections on zoology, archaeology, anthropology, and fine art. Marvel at the 12th-century Norman Cathedral, which boasts the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England. Day 3: On your final day, head to Glastonbury and visit Glastonbury Tor. Learn about its connection to Avalon and King Arthur, and climb the Tor for spectacular views across 3 English counties. Drive to the beautiful City of Bath for lunch, with time in the afternoon to explore the relics of its Roman past, including the famous Roman Baths.

What people are saying about Dorset

It was a really well organised trip. Great commentary on board about the area. Unfortunately i felt somewhat sea sick nearly half way into the journey so i can't tell you much sbout the bar/snacks facilities apart from saying it looked like a great place to get a tea/coffee/other beverage/snack area. If i hadn't felt so yuk i would have enjoyed it much more. I would highly recommend it.

John was a very knowledgeable guide and very safe driver. He got us to the sites with amble time to tour. The B&B we stayed at was lovely. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see more of the English country in a small group with the stress of driving/navigating completely handled by an experienced guide.

Very happy to see the Jurassic Coast and excellent commentary. The boat was not crowded and plenty of space. Overall excellent experience and will recommend to my friends.

It was a fun trip with great commentary and we enjoyed the wonderful views the route of the cruise offers..

Lovely trip. Very picturesque. Staff very friendly and commentary informative
