About this tour
A private eight-hour loop from Bath combining two Somerset destinations: Wells, England's tiniest city, home to a Gothic cathedral and moated bishop's residence; and Glastonbury, steeped in Arthurian legend and medieval history. Your local guide handles all logistics, including hotel pickup and parking, whilst you explore architectural landmarks and atmospheric ruins at your own pace across this historically layered corner of the West Country.
Highlights
- Wells Cathedral: intricate Gothic stonework and medieval craftsmanship
- Bishop's Palace gardens and moated grounds (entry separate)
- Glastonbury Tor: hillside climb with panoramic Somerset views
- Glastonbury Abbey ruins and visitor centre (entry separate)
- Private vehicle with knowledgeable local guide throughout
- Hotel collection and return included
What to expect
You'll spend roughly four hours split between Wells and Glastonbury, moving between sites in a private car. Wells rewards a leisurely wander through the cathedral close and around the palace moat—bring a camera for the water reflections. Glastonbury involves more legwork: the High Street leads uphill towards the Tor. If you climb it (30–40 minutes each way), expect steep grass paths and moorland wind; the summit rewards with broad vistas. Both towns offer independent exploration time. Weather shifts quickly in Somerset; layered clothing is essential. Your guide provides context but doesn't dictate pace.
Good to know
Cathedral and abbey entries cost extra and aren't included. Children must be 12+. Glastonbury Tor is optional but moderately strenuous; poor heart health warrants caution. The tour operates regardless of weather. Public transport alternatives exist if you prefer independence. Gratuities aren't included in the price.
