No coach queues, no set itinerary—you decide the pace and where to linger.

What to expect
You'll be collected in the morning and driven through farmland and rolling hills toward Avebury, where you walk among its dramatic sarsen stones—older than Stonehenge. Your guide explains the Neolithic builders and their landscape. Afterwards, you traverse narrow lanes into the Cotswolds, stopping at picturesque villages where Regency terraces and medieval High Streets remain largely unchanged. You might visit a market square, wander past stone cottages, or simply take photographs. Lunch (not included) at a village pub is typical. The route avoids motorways and major roads, revealing the quieter countryside between monuments.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for Avebury's walking and uneven ground. Not suitable for those with significant mobility or cardiac issues, or during pregnancy. Entry fees to Lacock Abbey and Bath's Roman Baths Museum are separate. Bring weatherproof clothing and sturdy footwear. Specialist infant seats available on request.
