Tours to Stonehenge & Bath
England is home to many historical sites, with every region having its own share of old but still beautiful palaces, ancestral houses and famous buildings. But of all these, what stand out the most are the mysterious stones of Stonehenge and the Georgian city of Bath. Today, among all the sightseeing tours from London, one of the most popular ones is the tours to Stonehenge & Bath. Located merely ninety miles from London, these heritage sites are the ideal getaways from London for a day tour. There are a range of tours possible from London, with scores of tour operators working from the city.

It is the mysterious origins of the Stonehenge, which make it one of the most enchanting tourist attractions in England. The city of the Bath was declared to be the World Heritage Site in 1987. Tours to Stonehenge & Bath can be comfortably completed within a day trip, while some visitors even like to stay overnight in Bath.

While some say that the location is a burial mound, there are others who think it is an astronomical clock.

Some of the popular sites in Bath, besides the Roman Bath, include the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and The Circus, for their fine architecture, the Bath Abbey, Temple Ruins and the Georgian Pump Room.
