  Overview
  Although famous for the the Roman Baths, the city is better defined by its 18th century elegance, a city with fabulous architecture, a rich history... an explorer's paradise. Don't miss the wonderful architecture of Royal Crescent and The Circus, or the last great medieval church, Bath Abbey, unique Pulteney Bridge, several quality museums including one dedicated to Jane Austen who lived in the city, and the maze of narrow shopping streets in the central core. Avebury, an enormous stone circle, predates Stonehenge and is a fascinating starting point for the day.

What can I see?
  Perhaps, the most beautiful city in Britain
  Museums of Costume, Jane Austen and Astronomy
  The only functioning Roman Baths in existence worldwide
  The Avebury World Heritage Site monuments which predate Stonehenge
Silbury Hill
Avebury Stone Circle
Plan for the day

En route to Bath we stop at Avebury. Your driver-guide will take you on a a circular guided walk around the stones circumnavigating the village of Avebury. Then on past Silbury Hill, the highest man-made prehistoric hill in the world. On arrival in Bath, there will be an informal walking tour into the city centre concluding at the Roman Baths from where you will have free time to explore. Bath is not a large city so the best way to explore is on foot. Meander through the picturesque streets to sample Georgian architecture at its best. We leave Bath late in the afternoon to make the journey back to Cambridge to arrive mid-evening.
