The trip was really enjoyable, I really appreciated being left alone at the various stops to explore at our own pace. Perhaps the only thing I would change is the stopover time in Lacock, which was too short to visit the abbey. Our guide was very nice!

Alan , our guide, was so knowledgeable and told us great stories about the region. He made it a very fun day! He loves the area and helped us fall in love with it too! He went out of his way to show us extra little quick stops to add to the main ones, which were excellent! Loved the Cotswolds and he had great tips to get us quickly through Stonehenge, allowing the perfect amount of time

Full description

A day full of wonder awaits us today.

Departing Bristol, your first stop for the day is the prehistoric monument Stonehenge. Many legends surround these incredible standing stones that weigh about 25 tons each and have attracted people from all over the world for years.
Perhaps you believe they were created by Merlin, who magically transported them from Ireland. Maybe you believe Stonehenge is a landing site for alien spacecraft. They might remind you of the ruins of a Roman temple. You can't deny their magnificence, no matter what you believe.

Avebury is your next stop. Enjoy your free time here: grab some lunch, wander around the area, and, of course, see the three stone circles. Avebury henge boasts the largest stone circle in Britain, so big it fits the entire quaint English village inside. So you can grab a pint and bite to eat while surrounded by a stone circle. Pretty magical, right?

Your journey continues to the quaint village of Lacock. You have free time here, you might be interested in visiting the Abbey. Harry Potter fans will obsess over seeing the Lacock Abbey Cloisters, used as Hogwarts corridors in the movies.
Visitors can also explore the medieval rooms and cloister court, before taking a look at the Fox Talbot Museum which explores the history of photography.

Castle Combe is our last stop, often called one of the prettiest villages in England. Fans of movies like War Horse and Neil Gaiman’s Stardust may just recognize this spot, so get your camera ready.

From here, it’s only a short drive back to Bristol.

Amazing day, with impeccable organization. Our guide, Tom, was perfect: interesting, engaging, helpful (and treated us to the perfect soundtrack for the day). Highly recommended!
