Historic Southwest England: The Cotswolds, Bath & Cornwall

Meet your driver-guide this morning for a full day exploring the northern Cotswolds. Visit quintessentially English towns and villages nestled in sweeping valleys and working farmland. Later on, stop by Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, where you will enjoy a privately guided tour of the house and grounds.

Travel by private vehicle to the beautiful city of Bath. After arriving at your centrally located hotel, spend the rest of your day strolling along the picturesque terraces and crescents, and perhaps indulge in a traditional afternoon tea.

Enjoy a private walking tour of Bath today. Journey back centuries by visiting the exceptionally-preserved Roman Baths, and visit The Royal Crescent, a fine example of Georgian architecture. In the evening, enter behind the scenes of Bath Abbey, an imposing Gothic structure that dominates the heart of the city. Visit the bell chamber and peek behind the clock face before enjoying a glass of champagne on the roof overlooking the dazzling city skyline.

Today, escape the bustling city streets on a day trip to Stonehenge, Avebury and Lacock. Regarded as one of the most impressive prehistoric sites in Britain, Stonehenge is a site to behold. Continue by visiting the lesser-known stone circles in Avebury village, before heading to the charming village of Lacock and its medieval abbey.

Spend the day making the journey from Bath to the southernmost corner of England — Cornwall. Watch the landscape slowly morph into rugged cliffs and secluded coves as you reach the working fishing port of Padstow. Relax at your hotel or walk into town to discover the thriving foodie scene.

Travel with your driver-guide on a full-day tour of the northern coast of Cornwall. Wander through the ruins of Tintagel Castle, take in unrivaled coastal views from Bedruthan Steps, and enjoy a Cornish ice cream on the waterfront of many a delightful fishing village.

Journey to the south coast today toward Fowey. On the way, stop at Bodmin Moor — a wild and untamed protected region in the heart of Cornwall. Here you will meet an archaeology expert for a guided walk through the moor, discovering stone circles and ancient legends. Arrive at your country house hotel in the late afternoon for a relaxing spa session and delicious dinner.

Jump in the car with your driver-guide for a tour along the spectacular south coast. In contrast to the north, this sheltered region has a tropical microclimate perfect for cultivating rare plant species. Pay a visit to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, a lovingly restored Victorian garden, followed by a trip to the 18th-century maritime village of Charlestown.

Meet your private driver at your hotel to take you to the airport.
