What's this trip about?

    Get to know the heritage, natural beauty and landmarks of Southern England on this 5-day, 5-night tour from London. This is a part of the world where the past feels like it walks alongside you. You can practically reach out and touch it. You’ll travel through the counties of Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset, jumping from deep time and pre-history to the Neolithic period to medieval, Georgian and Victorian times. Your friendly guides will help you experience it all through the eyes of important and fascinating figures, such as the pioneering 19th-century fossil hunter Mary Anning and novelists Thomas Hardy and Jane Austen. Peel back the Roman and Georgian layers of the city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Skip crowded Stonehenge in favour of its older, bigger UNESCO-listed sibling, Avebury stone circle. See castles, cathedrals and abbeys with links to conquering kings and enchanted poets. And soak up the natural beauty of the Jurassic Coast.
