Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge tour from London

Windsor  


The first stop on our tour is Windsor, home to the largest occupied castle in the world and the ancestral home of the British monarchy. On select mornings a must-see colourful display of typical British pomp and pageantry takes place here at the Changing of the Guard ceremony.  


As you walk around the impressive grounds, it is almost hard to believe that successive kings and queens have been living here for over 900 years. You'll quickly see why this beautiful castle was a favoured weekend residence of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.  

Inside the State Apartments, you will have the chance to explore the same rooms used today by The King and members of the Royal Family. The rooms here were intended to rival the Palace of Versailles in France, and paintings by renowned artists such as Rembrandt and Rubens adorn the walls.  


Set within the grounds of Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. Construction of the present Chapel began in 1475 under the reign of Edward IV. When visiting make sure you look up and admire the stone ceiling, which was added by Henry VII.  


The Chapel has been the location of many royal weddings including TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank.   Within the Chapel are the tombs of 11 monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II, George VI, Henry VIII and Charles I.  



Bath  


Visit the historic city of Bath, where the ancient meets the modern world. Here, you can visit the world-famous Roman Baths or enjoy time to explore the city at your own pace - the choice is yours!   Roman Baths   If you choose to visit the Roman Baths, you'll learn all about its history, from its origins as a temple dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, to its eventual development into a bathing complex. On display are thousands of Roman objects that have been found on-site over the years. These include the Haruspex stone and a gilt bronze head of the goddess Sulis Minerva, one of the best-known objects from Roman Britain.    



Stonehenge  
Over 5,000 years of history is waiting to be discovered by us at the prehistoric site at Stonehenge. Built on the windswept Salisbury Plain by our Neolithic ancestors, Stonehenge is a site that has courted controversy and stirred opinion for hundreds of years.  



Explore over 250 ancient objects on display at the world-class visitor centre. Discover the tools and everyday objects of Neolithic life, and come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and ancient human remains.
