Your day begins at 8:30am, when you’ll meet your professional driver-guide directly at the Southampton Cruise Terminal. Relax in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle as you set off on a scenic journey into the heart of southern England.

Morning in Bath – A UNESCO World Heritage City

Your first stop is the beautiful city of Bath, renowned for its elegant Georgian architecture, rich Roman history, and literary connections. You’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of the historic city centre, taking in iconic sights including the Royal Crescent, The Circus, Bath Abbey, and Pulteney Bridge.

After the walking tour, you’ll have free time to visit the Roman Baths independently, browse the shops, or relax with a coffee while soaking up the unique atmosphere.

Afternoon in the Cotswolds – Storybook Villages

In the afternoon, travel into the rolling countryside of the Cotswolds to visit Lacock, a charming historic village centred around its beautiful abbey. Lacock is a well-known filming location for Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, and many other films and TV series, making it a favourite with photographers and film lovers alike.

From here, continue to Castle Combe, often described as a fairytale village and widely regarded as one of the prettiest villages in England.
