  • A day in Bath, to experience the splendour of the Roman Baths and the 15th century abbey - on the site of the abbey built by the Saxons in the 7th century and the Normans in the 11th. Also awaiting you are many examples of graceful Palladian style 18th century architecture in exceptional settings like the Circus, the Royal Crescent and Queen Square. Not to be missed are the Pump Room and Assembly Rooms frequented by Jane Austen as well as The Jane Austen Centre. Other attractions include the world famous Museum of Costume, the Holburne Museum and the Botanical Gardens.  One can also enjoy the many antiques markets, quality shops, restaurants and the street entertainers.
  • A tour through Wiltshire to the prehistoric monuments at Stonehenge and Avebury, together with historic Salisbury and for Miss Marples fans I can take you to Nether Wallop. Also to be enjoyed is a visit to the  village of Lacock including the museum of photography pioneer William Fox-Talbot and his home at Lacock Abbey. The Abbey dates from the 13th century and was sold by the agents of King Henry VIII during his Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century.
  • Tours in the rolling Cotswold Hills. That special place famous for its many picturesque villages and towns in pleasing Cotswold Stone. Gems to enjoy include Castle Combe, Burford, Broadway and Bibury together with exceptional churches and stately homes including the magnificent Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
  • Other tours can include   The Regency town of Cheltenham and  William Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, the 11th century Warwick, 12th century Berkeley and 15th century Sudeley castles. Also of interest in that area is Coughton Court - not only a fine house with grounds and garden but still the home of the Throckmorton family from 1409 - with a good exhibition about the 1605 Gunpowder Plot to blow up King James I and parliament. Also a few miles to the east I have guided clients who wished to visit Althorp the home of Earl Spencer and the resting place of his sister Diana Princess of Wales. 

For those who would like to see more of the United Kingdom with The Follow Me Guided Tours Service, my advice can be sought.  You may wish to consider:

  • A tour of the historic parts of bustling Bristol, together with the 12th century Wells Cathedral, the Bishops Palace and Glastonbury with its ruined Abbey and connections with King Alfred and King Arthur.

  • In the South:  A drive through Wiltshire and Hampshire to perhaps Portsmouth and a visit aboard the Great Ships including Nelson's HMS VICTORY and Henry VIII's  MARY ROSE combined with a visit to the stunning Winchester Cathedral.

  • In the North: A tour through the beautiful Lake District, land of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. Then across to the east by way of the 2000 years old wall of the  Roman Emperor Hadrian, on to amazing 11th century Durham Cathedral described as the greatest Norman Cathedral in Europe. Such a tour could be linked with a visit to Yorkshire treasures like Castle Howard and York Minster.

  • In Scotland: A tour starting with Edinburgh and taking in St Andrews, the lower Highlands including perhaps Stirling, Glamis Castle, the Trossachs or even further north to Inverness.
