Stonehenge and Bath – Best accessible destinations from London
Stonehenge and Bath Best accessible destinations from London
Many visitors to London assume that all of the UK's finest attractions are to be found within the capital. Sure, there's Big Ben, the iconic London Eye and beautiful Buckingham Palace must-see highlights one and all but you might be surprised to learn that London also makes a fine base for tours to Stonehenge and Bath: two of the UK's oldest settlements.
Just 100 miles west of London, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And it's not difficult to see why. In AD 43 the Romans established the town as a spa resort, erecting baths and a temple around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the UK.
Large sections of the original Roman Baths still remain, including the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum. Together with the Grand Pump Room, the baths attract well over a million visitors every year.
Bath also retains a great deal of its Georgian architecture, and offers a wide range of attractions in addition to the baths, including the magnificent Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and medieval Bath Abbey.
Visitors to spectacular Stonehenge never forget their first glimpse of the monolithic rocks rising up against the skyline on Salisbury Hill. Theories abound about this mysterious rock formation. Was it intended as a religious temple? An astronomical clock? A Bronze Age burial ground? Why not make up your own mind as you explore the unique landmark that has had the world stumped for 5,000 years?
Golden Tours, London's leading sightseeing company, offers a full range of tours to let you experience the magic of Stonehenge and Bath for yourself. Here are a few suggestions for bus tours to Bath and Stonehenge Tours that you'll never forget.
