Bath
Famous for it's Roman history and Georgian architecture, Bath has an atmosphere
that is unsurpassed. Enjoy a guided tour around this World Heritage city,
once home to Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Gainsborough, Lord Nelson and
Beau Nash.
See the impressive architecture surrounding Royal Crescent and The Circus,
Pultney Bridge and the weir, Bath Abbey and the Assembly Rooms. Hear the
history of the city and find out about the characters that have shaped
it into the city we see today.
There will be plenty of time to visit the Roman Baths and Museum, the
Pump Rooms and even Sally Lunn's Tea Shop. You can explore the quaint
shops and weave you way through the narrow streets. You could even enjoy
a picnic beside the rushing waters of the River Avon.
Castle Combe
We then drive through the leafy lanes of the south Cotswolds to visit
the idyllic village of Castle Combe, voted "the Prettiest Village
in England". You can explore this unspoilt village and see the cottages
that make it so famous. There will be time to savour the atmosphere of
a bygone age and maybe enjoy either a pint of traditional ale or a cream
tea in an old English Inn.
Lacock
This tour also visits the medieval village of Lacock. The village is owned
by the National Trust and has hardly changed in 200 years. There is a
magnificent Abbey, half-timbered cottages and greystone houses. The village
is often used as a setting for the film industry. In recent years Jane
Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", Moll Flanders and even Harry
Potter have been filmed here!
