Stonehenge and Bath Day Trip from London

The combination of Stonehenge and Bath in a single day is the most popular day trip from London and, for once, one that actually works: the two sites are 25 miles apart, and a well-organised tour covers both without feeling rushed. Stonehenge (the prehistoric stone circle on Salisbury Plain, built in several phases between 3000 and 1500 BC, the largest Bronze Age monument in Britain) is 40 minutes from Bath by road. Most day trips from London depart Paddington or Victoria between 7:30 and 9 AM, reaching Stonehenge in the late morning and Bath in the early afternoon, with a return to London by 7-9 PM. Bath time on most itineraries is 3-4 hours: enough for the Roman Baths, a walk to the Abbey and the Pump Room, and lunch near the centre. The Stonehenge stop is typically 1.5-2 hours. Entry to Stonehenge is GBP 22 for adults (usually included in the tour price). A typical all-inclusive day trip from London costs GBP 65-95 per person including transport, Stonehenge entry, and a Bath guide. These tours are good value if you are coming from London and do not want to manage the transport logistics yourself.
