Start your Christmas Eve tour from London in the charming Royal Borough of Windsor, where you’ll enjoy a walking tour. You’ll see Windsor Castle, built high above the River Thames and home to the British royal family for more than 900 years.
Back in your coach, you’ll continue to Stonehenge, which you’ll see from the road. Clouded in mystery, the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is an amazing feat of engineering and an important prehistoric site. Beyond its archaeological significance and possible astronomical role, Stonehenge is a place of spiritual importance. Early legends link it with Merlin and King Arthur, but over the last 100 years, the midsummer sunrise has attracted pagan groups and followers of the Ancient Order of Druids. No matter what you think about its origins, you don’t want to miss the chance to see it for yourself.
Next, you’ll head to a pub in the county of Wiltshire, near Stonehenge, where you’ll feast on a traditional, three-course Christmas lunch with all the English trimmings. See the Itinerary section below for a sample menu.
Finally, you will travel to the city of Bath, adored for its Georgian architecture and known for its Roman Baths. Take a panoramic tour of its famous sights, including Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Assembly Rooms and the 18th-century Pulteney Bridge. Explore the Roman Baths, built around thermal springs that have been supplying water for more than 2,000 years. In Roman times, a great temple was built next to the sacred spring -- the waters were believed to have healing properties and attracted visitors from across the Roman Empire.
Please note:
Stonehenge is closed to visitors on Christmas Eve, but you will view it from the road.
