A Castle, old England & Medieval villages with pub lunch
(private guided day)
A really stunning, spectacular day in the little known but stunning countryside of Wiltshire with scenes of old England and lunch at a wonderful country pub.
About your Private Guided Tour
Enjoy a magical day a world away from London, and away from the crowds and queues, immersed in the stories and beauty of old England. In a day that lies well off the tourist trails you’ll experience one of England’s most romantic ruins, old Wardour Castle, and spectacular medieval villages with their thatched cottages and pretty churches.
After a short and scenic drive we begin the day with morning coffee in a rustic barn before heading over to the castle where we will enjoy a short stroll. Lunch is at a traditional country pub with excellent food and during the afternoon we make our way back through the medieval villages to Salisbury, with plenty of opportunities to stop for photos on the way.
This is a beautiful day in the Wiltshire countryside.
