Depart London and travel out through the old kingdom of Wessex to its ancient capital, the historic city of Winchester.

After exploring this fascinating old town with its magnificent cathedral and historic Great Hall, your tour will continue on to the dramatic south Devon Coast. Enjoy panoramic viewsof sandy beaches and the natural rock arch of Durdle Door.

We'll spend an afternoon exploring some of the coast before arriving at the historic city of Exeter, an important fortified settlement in Roman times, and your base for 2 nights.

Your morning is spent exploring the magnificent wilderness of Dartmoor, the ancient Clapper Bridge at Postbridge and the historic market town of Tavistock, home to Sir Francis Drake.

Return to Exeter in the early afternoon to explore this Roman town, with its underground passages, ancient walls, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and its famous 12th century Norman Cathedral. Your second night is spent here.

Arthurian legend mixes with genuine Celtic history in Cornwall, England's westernmost county. We'll explore the ancient Cornish capital of Launceston and its 12th century Norman castle, then head west to the North Cornish coast and the Elizabethan fishing village of Boscastle. Indulge in a cream tea, take a stroll out to the dramatic headland, or learn a spell or two in the Museum of Witchcraft.

We'll then travel to the village of Tintagel and the ruins of its headland Castle, purportedly the birthplace of King Arthur. After lunch, we'll head to Port Isaac where you can get your Doc Martin’s fix, and fall in love with this picturesque fishing village. We'll then head south to the bustling port town of Falmouth for the next two nights.

Explore the most westerly tip of England on this magnificent day. Take in the stunning Minack Theatre built into the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and the beautiful National Trust beach at Porthcurno. You may even see some pirates at Penzance! We'll return to Falmouth for the night.

This morning you say farewell to Cornwall and travel back through the Devon countryside with stops for photos and refreshments before arriving at the famous town of Glastonbury for lunch.

Glastonbury Tor rises high above the town and has mythical connections with King Arthur and Avalon. From here you will travel east for the final highlight: the famous Neolithic standing stone circle of Stonehenge. We'll then return to London.
