About this tour
A private eight-and-a-half-hour guided tour threading together three significant prehistoric monuments near Bath. Travel by car through the Wiltshire countryside to Avebury's colossal stone circle, explore the West Kennet Long Barrow chamber tomb, and finish at Stonehenge. Your guide unpacks the archaeology at each stop whilst entry fees and hotel transport are handled. This approach beats renting a car if you're based in Bath and want proper context for these Bronze Age landmarks.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Bath hotel and driven out into open chalkland where the monuments sit scattered across fields. Avebury allows you to walk freely among the massive sarsen stones, which feel less crowded than Stonehenge. At West Kennet, you duck into a low stone passage to reach burial chambers—bring a torch. Stonehenge is the finale: your guide contextualises the layout and theories while you observe from the permitted viewing area. Expect moderate walking between car parks and sites; the pace is unhurried. Lunch stop is unstructured, giving you choice.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing—these sites are exposed. Groups capped at six people keep things personal. Moderate fitness needed for gentle slopes and uneven ground. Book dietary requirements upfront if you want lunch recommendations. Allow time at each location; rushing defeats the purpose.
