Your story begins...

Step into a day where ancient stones and natural wonders tell their stories. In Glastonbury and Salisbury, history and spirituality are proudly displayed. Nature has its own stories to tell, and you’ll go from one UNESCO World Heritage Site to another today, from the beautiful city of Bath to the geologically striking Jurassic Coastline. Marvel at Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, and reconsider what hard work looks like when you learn it took millions of years to form.

Morning

Bath to Salisbury

Today is a day of history: both man-made and natural. Leaving Bath behind, today you travel south in search of scenic landscapes and historic towns. The first stop of today is the medieval city of Salisbury, best known for the cathedral and rich cultural history.

Mid Morning

Free time in Salisbury

You spend your morning uncovering the historic sites and stories that Salisbury has to offer. There is plenty of time to visit the iconic Salisbury Cathedral, where you can see an original copy of the Magna Carta; or perhaps you'll prefer exploring the Old Town, losing yourself in cobbled streets and traditional market square.

Afternoon

Lulworth Cove/Durdle Door - Jurassic Coast

After your morning in the historic city, it's off to the coast for some sea air. Your driver-guide will take you along the road to Durdle Door, one of the region's most well-known landmarks. There's time to explore and take pictures of the iconic limestone arch from the cliffs, or you can make your way down to the sandy beach. From here, it's a short drive to Lulworth Cove, another unique geological wonder; here, you can have a seaside lunch as you enjoy the pebbled beach and secluded bay.

Early Evening

Glastonbury and return to Bath

As the day draws to a close, there is still time for a final stop in Somerset. You will visit the historic city Glastonbury for a final coffee break. You may know Glastonbury best for the famous music festival held every summer, but did you know that this is also a possible burial place of King Arthur? Your driver-guide will regale you with a myth or two, before returning to Bath in the early evening.

You return to Bath at approximately 6.45pm.
