Book a fantastic full-day trip from London and discover Windsor Castle, Elizabeth II’s favorite Royal Palace, then travel to Salisbury Plain and visit the legendary Stonehenge and finish your day at Bath, a World Heritage Site since 1987.
Description
We'll leave central London at the indicated time on a luxury coach and head to the remarkable Windsor Castle, which is less than 1 hour away.
Founded in a privileged location, Windsor Castle has a world-famous round tower that stands 65.5 meters tall and is surrounded by an enormous garden. While you visit the Royal Palace, you’ll realize why it's the Queen’s favorite. During the tour, you'll visit the fortification's various rooms, all beautifully decorated with masterpiece paintings and you'll stop at St George’s Chapel. One of the highlights of Windsor Castle is Queen Mary’s doll house, built by over 1,500 craftsmen. The toy house was so sophisticated that it even had hot water and electricity.
Continue your journey to Salisbury Plains, where Stonehenge, one of the world’s most famous megalithic monuments, has stood for around 5,000 years. The magical monument is made up by 40-ton prehistoric stones. To this day, it's still a mystery how the stones got there and what the site was used for.
The coach will then continue to the fabulous city of Bath, on the banks of the River Avon. There you'll have free time to discover Bath, the first town in the United Kingdom to be inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can visit the 15th-century Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge, frequently compared to Florence's Ponte Vecchio.
You can also visit the superb Roman Baths. These thermal springs have given the city its name. Bath was founded on the only natural hot springs in the United Kingdom. During the visit, you’ll be able to sip Bath's curative waters. Moreover, in winter, you can enjoy discovering the Roman Baths by torchlight (not available in the months of summer).
We'll conclude this 10.5 to 11 hour tour by returning to central London.
