A morning in Bath begins with low winter light carving the honey-colored stone; by mid-morning the SUV threads quiet country lanes and the landscape opens into chalk downs that seem to push the horizon forward. The tour puts ancient and medieval Britain into one clear line of sight — Roman engineering in Bath, the earthworks of Old Sarum, and Stonehenge’s massive lintels holding court on the Salisbury Plain.
