About this tour
A three-day private tour exploring England's West Country with Southampton pickup and two nights based in Bath.

What to expect
You'll be collected from Southampton port or your hotel and travel in a dedicated vehicle with a knowledgeable local guide. Days combine coach journeys with guided walks around each site—expect roughly 2–3 hours of walking daily, so come prepared with sturdy shoes. Stonehenge involves an open moorland setting; Bath's Georgian crescents and the Roman Baths require navigating stairs and uneven floors. Wells is intimate and walkable. The Cheddar area offers dramatic natural scenery. Your guide will provide historical context and local insight at each stop. Most evenings you'll return to Bath for dinner and rest; the pace is unhurried but covers significant ground.
Good to know
Book accommodation separately; Bath has hotels and guesthouses across price ranges. The vehicle holds four large suitcases and four carry-on bags maximum. Walking tours mean those with mobility issues should confirm suitability beforehand. Hawk flying depends on weather and has an 8-year minimum age. Infants sit on adult laps. Your onward transfer on day three is included for destinations within three hours of Bath; longer journeys incur a surcharge.
