Itinerary

Day 1 - Stonehenge, Jurassic Coast & Durdle Door

London - Stonehenge - Jurassic Coast - Exeter. Heading west from London, we journey to Stonehenge, a Neolithic UNESCO-protected stone circle shrouded in mystery. After admiring this ancient wonder, we head south to the Jurassic Coast. This name was rightfully earned thanks to the staggering array of dinosaur fossils that have been found and continue to be found in the area. Making our way to Durdle Door, there is plenty of time to admire this natural limestone arch and take photos.

Our final stop for the day is the city of Exeter in Devon. Once the most western fortified town of Roman Britain, today Exeter is a modern coastal city. Attractions include the historic city walls, gothic cathedral and an elegant quayside area complete with bars and restaurants. We'll spend two nights in Exeter.

Dartmoor is also home to a rich variety of plant and animal life, providing a sensory feast of sights, sounds, and smells.

On this tour, you will stay in bed and breakfast properties (B&Bs). These are usually smaller residential properties, with just a handful of guest rooms. You’ll have a bedroom, bathroom and often, access to a communal dining room for breakfast. Rooms will always be clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom. Bathrooms are usually en-suite, but on rare occasions, access may be via a communal hallway. This means that the bathroom will still be private and only for your personal use, but it is not en-suite (located in the room). You will need to leave the room to use the bathroom.
