I will collect you from your accommodation in Bath at 8:30am and drive you to England's smallest city, Wells, approx. 1 hour from Bath. The city is renowned for its impressive cathedral, its clock which is one of the oldest in the world and a street which is the oldest residential street in Europe - all of which you will visit during our private walking tour of Wells. We will also visit the historic Market Place and the Bishops Palace (we do not go inside the Palace). Saturday is market day so you will get to see the small local market in Wells!

​

After visiting Wells we will drive to Glastonbury, approx. 20 minutes away, stopping off at a local Farm Shop cafe for lunch. Glastonbury is arguably the quirkiest town in England and there are a number of myths and legends associated with it. We will visit the picturesque ruins and gardens of Glastonbury Abbey. The abbey claimed it was built on the site of the earliest Christian monastic site in Britain and went on to become one of the wealthiest abbeys in the country. Monks found, what they claimed to be, the grave of King Arthur and Guinevere in the grounds of the abbey. After visiting the abbey we will climb up to the Glastonbury Tor. The Glastonbury Tor is one of the most famous landmarks in the region and like the abbey it is steeped in legends. The walk from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill where the Tor is located takes approximately 20 minutes depending on your fitness. There are around 260 steps and so it is not suitable for those with mobility difficulties. From the top you will be rewarded with panoramic views and I will explain about the legends behind the Tor.

After the tour I will drive you back to Bath. We will detour via the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, England's largest gorge. The drive through the gorge has been named as the most scenic drive in Britain. We will return to Bath around 5pm.
