Bath and Stonehenge Trip

Stonehenge

Entry to the famous circle of stones at Stonehenge provides an audio tour that may shed some light as to the mystery of who, how and when the stone circle was built. Some of the stones used in the construction came from Wales, over 385km away and construction took place over a period of 1500 years, having started around 3000BC

Bath

Britain's finest Georgian city is brimming with a remarkable range of museums, galleries, exhibitions and shops. You will have time to explore these as well as discover more about the history of the hot springs.

The city itself is renowned for its beauty as it has a phenomenal amount of Roman, Georgian and medieval architecture, with over five thousand 'listed' buildings. You will have time to visit Bath Abbey, where you should take a few moments to look at the impressive stone facade.

The city of Bath originated and developed around its hot spring waters two thousand years ago, and the thermal waters rise from a depth of about 3000 metres, at a constant temperature of 46.5C. They reach the surface in three places in the city centre, and baths have been built over each of them. You will have the chance to visit the Roman Baths and discover more about the history and geography of the hot springs.

Visit the Jane Austen Centre, Bath's most famous resident. Watch a demonstration of Bath's unique Aqua Glass being hand-blown at The Bath Aqua Theatre of Glass. Visit the Pump Rooms, where you can 'take the waters' (purchase a glass of tepid water). Take a stroll along the River Avon, hire a boat or take a river cruise. You can also enjoy the city sights on a 'Laugh in Bath' open deck bus tour.
