Embark on an unforgettable 2-day journey through royal heritage, ancient mysteries, and dramatic landscapes in a classic London Black Cab!
Our adventure departs Central London and heads west toward Windsor Castle, the world's largest continuously occupied castle. We'll take in the grandeur of The Long Walk, a breathtaking 2.5-mile avenue framed by ancient trees, and explore the rich royal heritage that spans nearly a millennium.
From Windsor, we track along historic coaching routes to Marlborough, home to the widest high street in England, where we'll pause for lunch in a quintessential market town setting.
Our afternoon delves into Britain’s prehistoric heart:
Avebury Stone Circle: The largest stone circle in the world. Unlike other sites, here you can wander right up to the megaliths, feel their energy, and browse the quaint Henge Shop.
Lacock: A picture-perfect, preserved medieval village. Stroll past thatched weaver cottages, the historic tithe barn, and Lacock Abbey—famously used as a filming location for Harry Potter.
As afternoon turns to evening, we arrive in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath. We'll step back two millennia at the world-renowned Roman Baths museum, exploring the steaming spring waters and ancient paving. We wrap up the day with a scenic panoramic cab drive showcasing Bath's architectural crowns, including Sally Lunn's, The Circus, and the grand Royal Crescent, before checking into your hotel.
Suggested Overnight Stay: The Queensberry Hotel — a boutique Georgian townhouse offering quiet luxury right in the heart of historic Bath.
We set off early from Bath into the rugged Mendip Hills, arriving at the jaw-dropping Cheddar Gorge. Marvel at Britain's highest inland limestone cliff faces as our Black Cab winds through the dramatic gorge floor.
Next, we enter Somerset's smallest city, Wells, to visit the magnificent Wells Cathedral and the moat-encircled Bishop's Palace. Inside the cathedral, you'll witness the famous 14th-century astronomical clock with its jousting knights and the famous "scissor arches."
Our journey then enters the realm of King Arthur and Celtic myth in Glastonbury:
Glastonbury Abbey: Explore the peaceful ruins where medieval monks claimed to have discovered the tombs of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere.
Chalice Well: Take a moment in these tranquil gardens to sample the iron-rich, spring waters believed by legend to flow from the hidden Holy Grail.
* Glastonbury Tor: Hike up this iconic landmark topped by St. Michael's Tower for sweeping, magical views across the Somerset Levels.
Our grand finale takes us across the Salisbury Plain to Stonehenge. We'll marvel at this iconic UNESCO site, examining compelling theories behind its construction and its alignment with the sun, before our cab returns you comfortably back to Central London.
