描述
Explore the UK's most iconic cathedrals on a private tour from Bristol, Bath, or Swindon. Visit Malmesbury Abbey, Winchester Cathedral, Salisbury Cathedral, and Wells Cathedral.
Begin with a pickup from your accommodation in Bristol, Bath, or Swindon. Drive for around 45 minutes to your first stop, Malmesbury Abbey. Explore this 12th-century masterpiece, which once had a spire taller than Salisbury Cathedral.
See the tomb of Athelstan, the first King of England, who spent much of his time there among the monks. Learn about other notable monks, including William of Malmesbury and Eilmer the ‘flying monk’ who constructed wings and flew from the top of the Abbey to the nearby Daniel’s Well in 1005 AD.
Next, drive to Winchester Cathedral, which was built on the site of the earlier Saxon Minster on land purchased by Alfred the Great. Explore the cathedral and see the huge statue of Alfred nearby.
Continue to Salisbury Cathedral, with an optional stop at its former site at Old Sarum and an optional drive past Stonehenge. Admire the 13th-century Gothic cathedral, a stunning example of early English Gothic design.
See the cathedral’s large number of artifacts, including one of the four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta. Admire the magnificent cathedral clock, reportedly the oldest working modern clock in the world.
After enjoying Salisbury Cathedral and the surrounding area, drive to Wells, the smallest city in England. Explore the huge cathedral and see several stained glass windows depicting England’s greatest kings, including Alfred the Great, Edward the Elder, and Athelstan.
After exploring the cathedral, walk down Vicar’s Close, the oldest inhabited medieval street in Europe, and explore the Bishop’s Palace and gardens. After this, enjoy some free time to explore Wells city center with its many independent shops, cafes, and bars.
