England In One Day - Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford & The Cotswolds
Option to add - Private tour of Shakespeare's School
Stonehenge
First, we head straight for Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. Come and marvel at the substantial 40-ton Sarsens and the volcanic blue stones from the Preseli mountains over 280 miles away. Discover the mysteries that surround the slaughter stone and see the numerous earth barrows where the beaker people lie buried before heading through the Salisbury plains towards Bath.
Bath and the Cotswolds
Bath, a world heritage site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces, and architecture. There will be plenty of time to shop and explore before we enjoy a drive through the Cotswolds. As we head north to Stratford, we drive through the heart of the Cotswolds, taking in breathtaking views of open countryside crisscrossed by dry stone walls and bustling market towns with magnificent perpendicular churches.
Stratford-Upon-Avon
Stratford-Upon-Avon is the birthplace of William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company. It is a charming market town set in the heart of rural England. A delightful river winds its way through the town, past the beautiful Holy Trinity church, where Shakespeare lies buried.
Shakespeare's Schoolroom was built in the 15th century, and young William was taught in this very room in the 1570s. We have included a private and exclusive tour just for Premium Tours clients, and we will include a school lesson, too! Fun stuff.
