Description
Enjoy Bath's fabulous Christmas Market on our small group tour from Stratford-upon-Avon or Moreton-in-Marsh. On the way, we'll stop in Castle Combe, often voted the prettiest village in the Cotswolds!
Experience the magic of the Cotswolds, and the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath on this full day small group tour departing from Stratford-upon-Avon or Moreton-in-Marsh.
Pick up points for this tour are in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre (9.00AM) or at Moreton-in-Marsh rail station (9.30AM). After boarding our luxury 17-seater Mercedes mini-coach, you'll travel in comfort and style as we take a magical drive through the Cotswolds to our first stop: Castle Combe.
Often voted "the prettiest village in England", walking through the streets of tiny Castle Combe feels like stepping back in time, or walking through a film set! Indeed, Castle Combe, with its centuries-old cottages and stunning Cotswold architecture has featured in period movies including War Horse and Dr Doolittle.
Then, it's on to the lovely city of Bath, where you'll have over 4 hours to explore. It's beautiful at any time of year, but from late November to mid-December, Bath really sparkles as it plays host to one of the UK's biggest and best Christmas markets. The city's lovely Georgian streets will be lined with over 170 festive market stalls, bursting with delicious street food and drinks, Christmas gifts, homewares, handmade jewellery and treats. You can shop 'til you drop, or perhaps use your time to visit some of Bath's main attractions, including the famous Roman Baths, Bath Abbey or the Jane Austen Centre (admission not included).
We'll depart Bath at approximately 5.00PM - it'll be dark by then, so you can enjoy the lovely Christmas lights before we leave! The tour returns to Moreton-in-Marsh by 6.45PM, or to Stratford-upon-Avon by 7.15PM.
