Depart from Bath and embark on a scenic journey through the Mendip Hills, an area recognised for its outstanding natural beauty. The landscape is marked by limestone hills forming dramatic gorges that tower over the Somerset Levels. Just when you think the views can’t get any more spectacular, Cheddar Gorge appears - one of Britain’s most impressive natural wonders. Marvel at this vast limestone chasm, sculpted by ancient waters, and witness nature's grandeur in all its glory.
At Cheddar Gorge, there's ample time to explore. Choose to delve into caves adorned with stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal clear pools. Alternatively, embark on a clifftop walk, ascend the 274 steps of Jacob’s Ladder and climb an additional 48 steps to reach the Lookout Tower. If energy permits, why not experience it all?
The adventure continues in Glastonbury, where myth intertwines with history. Arthurian legends connect this place to the Isle of Avalon. As a King Arthur enthusiast, you can seek out the Chalice Well, absorb the history of Glastonbury Abbey - reputedly King Arthur's final resting place - and trek to Glastonbury Tor.
Your day concludes in Wells, England’s smallest city, brimming with beauty and history. Step back in time as you meander through the medieval cobbled streets of Vicars’ Close, gaze up at the towering arches of Wells Cathedral, and find serenity within the Bishop’s Palace and gardens.
