Visit the ancient University City of Oxford, the glorious region of the Cotswolds with its antique shops and quaint villages and the breathtaking, World Heritage City of Bath. The Roman Baths, Pump Room and Abbey are among the finest antiquities in the country.
See Stonehenge, Britain's darkest mystery erected nearly 5,000 years ago, the historic City of Winchester, Capital of England under Alfred the Great with its quaint streets that wind their way up to the castle, and medieval Salisbury with its magnificent 13th century cathedral boasting the tallest spire in Britain.
Choose your overnight stay from either of these two leading, deluxe country house hotels:The Bath Priory, built of honey-coloured Bath stone in 1835 and set in large award-winning gardens just one mile from the city centre. Best Loved Hotels of the World calls its gardens "a magnificent sanctuary in the middle of one of Europe's finest cities"
OR classic Hunstrete House, 20 minutes from Bath set in 92 acres of acres of beautiful grounds on the edge of the Mendip hills. Hunstrete's individually decorated bedrooms are particularly fine with tranquil views over the grounds.
"The two day Bath tour was wonderful. The Roman ruins were so much more than we expected. The hotel, The Bath Priory, was superb.
Two other stops added more depth to the tour and, as always, the insight of our guide gave the tour an additional dimension".
