Stonehenge & Bath

Explore Bath & Stonehenge on foot

Stonehenge & Bath is a ‘Walk & Touring’ style Foot Trail – the itinerary is created to enable you to have time to visit and explore the two world heritage sites of Bath & Stonehenge as well as the medieval city of Salisbury. The trail is multi-centred too, staying 3 or 4 nights in each location to give you a sense of holiday / vacation and touring.

You’ll enjoy the sights and atmosphere of Georgian Bath, it’s city heart which is rich in architecture. And you’ll enjoy an array of walking trails and magical countryside landscapes and traditional English villages, both surrounding the city of Bath and within Wiltshire itself.

Your day at Stonehenge will be memorable, guided by Foot Trails knowledgeable founders Alison & David Howell on your very own Journey to the Stones. You’ll hear how Stonehenge was created and learn about this site as well as enjoy a picnic lunch of local produce and hot tea on route.

Trail highlights include:

• Marvel at the wonder that is Stonehenge. Many say that a visit to our region is incomplete without it.
• Explore the Avon Valley, taking in aqueducts, mills and an undulating landscape.
• Walk paths of breath taking Wiltshire countryside. Settle down for a ploughman’s lunch with bread baked that morning, proper butter, Wiltshire ham and west country cheeses.
• Be spoiled with traditional English fair in your personally selected accommodation.
• Bath. It would be a travesty to visit the West Country and miss the city. At every corner you are treated to spectacular architecture and it really is a special place to happen upon having enjoyed the treats of the surrounding countryside.

About your accommodations

Where you stay is a key part of your Foot Trail & experience. One of the reasons guests choose Foot Trails is for our choice and quality of accommodation.

The country inns and country pubs where you stay are small, personal and friendly with excellent hospitality. Each one is in an English village with comfortable bedrooms and delicious local food and drinks to enjoy with dinner after your walk.

Alison, Foot Trails founder, chooses each inn personally. Centuries old, each building provides a relaxing and authentic setting in which you can kick off your boots and eat dinner at the end of an inspiring day on the trail.

During your Stonehenge & Bath trail you will stay at 2 hand-picked hotels that celebrate what the area is all about. One is a collection of Georgian town houses forming this elegant & modern hotel. A little grandeur is required when staying in Bath after all! The second is a 17th century former coaching inn, which sits in a pretty Wiltshire village. It once served horses, carriages and their drivers, bringing post from London to Exeter,
