Day 1: Start Your Stonehenge Bath Glastonbury Tour
Starting early, step into the otherworldly circle of Stonehenge before the crowds arrive. Walking among these massive Neolithic stones, you’ll feel transported in time, wondering who built them. How and why does such a powerful spiritual site still call to millions today? Your guide will probably start telling tales of ancient druids, astronomical alignments, and ongoing mysteries wrapped in the mist.
After soaking in the history, your 3-day trip around England takes you along the Jurassic Coast, famed for its scenic cliffs and nature. You can stop to get amazed by Durdle Door, an absolutely iconic limestone arch overlooking a pure cove. Picture dipping your toes into this geological work of art shaped over millions of years; ideal for photos and a whiff of salty sea breeze.
Back to Exeter, discover a mix of history from the commanding Norman castle up high to its spectacular Gothic cathedral within. Enjoy quaint street cafés, bookstores, and the soft buzz of a millennium of English existence. The pace of this day mixes in-depth history with a dash of seaside and market town character, perfecting the tone for an experiential 3-day trip around England.
Day 2: South West England’s Moorlands and Historic Market Towns
Your second day is reserved for England’s South West wild side. Dartmoor National Park, with its undulating moorland, provides a glimpse of England’s untamed beauty. Wild ponies here roam on windswept grasslands freely, a living embodiment of ageless wilderness. The ancient Postbridge Clapper Bridge, constructed from gigantic slabs of granite placed centuries ago, speaks of medieval trade routes and villagers who once waded through these waters.
And nearby, there’s Tavistock, a thriving market town set with craft shops, ancient pubs, and the boast of being the hometown of Sir Francis Drake, England’s beloved sea captain. Wander its streets and absorb local craftsmanship, and perhaps discover a warm lunch spot nestled in between walls centuries old.
AE Tours allows you to personalise a portion of the 3-day trip around England. Spend more time in the idyllic Cotswolds village of Castlecombe or Lacock, famous for its quintessential charm and associations with Jane Austen. Or maybe you prefer more time to relax in Bath’s rejuvenating spas tomorrow. This flexibility makes your 3-day experience feel as if it were constructed specifically for you.
Day 3: Mystical Glastonbury and Roman Elegance of Bath
Morning brings you to Glastonbury, usually referred to as England’s spiritual centre. Climb up onto the Glastonbury Tor, and you’ll gaze across patchwork fields and rolling hills. This is supposed to be the Isle of Avalon, King Arthur’s resting place. Walk through the town’s esoteric shops filled with crystals, incense, and legends of pagan tradition mixed with Christian myth.
Once your sacred cup is full, get ready to experience the sophisticated relaxation of Bath, the Roman city renowned for its hot springs and stunning Georgian architecture. Spend time at the Roman Baths museum, where steam billows from gleaming waters, providing a sensory gateway to ancient wellness practices.
Visit the lavishly decorated Bath Abbey, and walk through The Circus and Royal Crescent, architectural wonders that seem timeless. Cap off your last day of the 3-day trip around England with a stop at the contemporary Bath Thermae Spa, where rooftop pools of warm water guarantee to relax your travel-rejured muscles.
