After a pretty 45-minute journey from Moreton-in-Marsh, we'll arrive in the Southern Cotswold market town of Tetbury - a beautiful and historic must-see location. Tetbury's quaint streets include the picturesque 'Chipping Steps' and are home to numerous independent shops, cafes, tea-rooms and -especially - antiques shops!

After a lovely 45-minute journey from Tetbury, we'll arrive in the beautiful city of Bath. First, we'll make a quick photo stop at the photogenic Royal Crescent. This impressive curved terrace is considered the finest example of Georgian architecture in the country!

You'll have around 2 hours and 45 minutes of free time to explore here, with maps we provide.
