This small-group tour from Bath begins with an early visit to Stonehenge to avoid the crowds. The guide collects reserved entrance tickets to speed entry, allowing about 1 hour and 40 minutes to explore the site and its extensive information centre, which includes displays and a café. Travelers must bring a debit or credit card to pay for Stonehenge admission on the day. Next, the group spends about an hour walking among the stones at Avebury, a large stone circle where visitors can roam freely. There is time to experience the setting and visit the nearby village, which includes a 17th-century thatched pub. A photo stop follows at the Avebury henge, the largest prehistoric human-made structure in Europe, built 4,800 years ago. The tour then pauses for a photo stop at Cherhill White Horse, a nearly 300-year-old chalk hill figure among 13 similar carvings in Wiltshire, best viewed from a distance. Lunch takes place in Lacock, a National Trust village with no major changes in 200 years, known for film locations such as Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. Visitors may optionally enter Lacock Abbey, a Tudor monastery linked to photography pioneer William Fox Talbot (entrance not included). The abbey is open spring to autumn. The final stop is Castle Combe in the Cotswolds, a village in a wooded valley voted England's prettiest village. Here, visitors have about 35 minutes to walk cobbled streets, see the medieval market cross, relax by the stream with weaver’s cottages, and view the medieval clock in St Andrews church and the 13th-century tomb of Sir Walter de Dunstanville. The entire tour lasts about 9 hours and is led by a local guide in a small group of up to 15 people.
