When you travel through West England, you feel bewildered.

In Avebury, you wonder why Neolithic inhabitants built the largest stone circle in Europe. At Lacock, you question how the stunning abbey has managed to be a nunnery, a brewery, a bakery, and a home. And in Bath, you ponder over what Britain would have been like if the Romans had never visited.

So on this tour, we give you time to investigate the secrets and understand the beauty of these famously historic locations.

Your guide lets you wander through the streets of Bath, where Georgian architecture effortlessly blends with ancient Roman artefacts. You travel to Lacock, where the rickety old lanes have been used as a filming location for Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, and Pride and Prejudice. And you venture to Avebury, where the stone monuments have beguiled visitors, historians, and archaeologists for centuries.

So uncover the mystery and history of West England on our tour to Avebury, Lacock, and Bath.

We have been producing and running tours for over 30 years and we like to think that each one of our tours is special in its own right and our King Arthur tour is no exception. Based upon our very own extensive research and experience we have curated a tour which blends historical, archaeological and literary sources to bring, what we hope, is an informative and above all an entertaining day out. Not only do we cover the well known legends of Arthur but we delve deep into Celtic folk lore to give another perspective on this the most famous but enigmatic figures of Britain's dark age. We visit places that most others omit. For example we take a hike up Glastonbury Tor for some stunning views across the countryside, and we visit the White spring where our passengers can bathe in the spring waters. We also slot in other visits, such as Caen Lock and Silbury Hill so that our passengers get the most out of their day.
