Lacock and Castle Combe with Cream Tea - Half Day Private Tour

Lacock and Castle Combe are two of the most famous villages near Bath. Steeped in history, both villages have changed little over the centuries making them charming places to visit and today they are popular locations for filming period films and TV series e.g. Cranford, Downtown Abbey, Harry Potter and War Horse.

Your private guide will collect you at 1:30pm and drive you to the village of Lacock, approximately 45 minutes from Bath. Owned by the National Trust, almost all of the buildings in this village are protected and appear as they would have done almost 200 years ago. Your guide will take you on a walking tour of the village where you can see traditional village features such as a tithe barn, a blind-house as well as a house dating back to the early 1200s. Your guide will explain about the village's history and show you some of the locations used for films.

After exploring Lacock you will be driven to the village of Castle Combe. Once voted England's prettiest village, Castle Combe is a great example of a traditional Cotswold village and has featured in the films of War Horse, Stardust and Dr Doolittle. During your walking tour of this tiny village you will be shown some of the filming locations and learn about the history of the village and the Cotswolds. At the end of the tour there will be a stop to enjoy a culinary experience which all visitors to England should try - the traditional English cream tea! The English cream tea consists of a pot of tea, scones, clotted cream and jam.

You will return to Bath around 6:30pm.
