London Christmas
3 nights in London with a Christmas Day tour to Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge with a traditional Turkey lunch in a pub.
Christmas day tour details:
After the morning pick-up we head off to Windsor Castle for a guided walking tour of the old market town taking in the charming cobbled streets and medieval buildings including the house that William Shakespeare lived in when he wrote The Merry Wives of Windsor. You will also see the warrant for Charles I execution signed by Oliver Cromwell and Sir Christopher Wren’s intriguing Guildhall before heading to the long walk that boasts the most impressive views of Windsor Castle. Your professional guide will pause here explaining to you the dramatic history of the oldest working Castle in the world. The walk will continue around the perimeter of the Castle before heading down across Windsor Bridge into Eton where we can see the college that Princes William and Harry attended.
Journeying south-west we pass through Runnymede where King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215 before heading to the picturesque Salisbury Plain. There will be plenty of time for a photo-stop at Stonehenge the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. Step back in time 5,000 years while your guide explains the remarkable sequence of events that have surrounded these ancient monoliths.
Christmas lunch is an absolute treat. We visit a charming pub to enjoy Roast Turkey with all the trimmings followed by delicious Christmas pudding in front of the roaring log fire!
Finally we head to the spa town of Bath for a walking and panoramic driving tour of the old Roman and Georgian town visiting the Royal Crescent, King’s Circus, and Pulteney Bridge boasting fine views of the River Avon cascading down over the weir.
Please note that the Roman Baths, Windsor Castle and Stonehenge will be closed but the tour still provides a comprehensive overview of each attraction and includes a delicious Christmas lunch in a historic English pub.
