You leave London before breakfast and the motorway peels open into green folds of Wiltshire; hedgerows and patchwork fields blur past as the chauffeur keeps an easy rhythm. By mid-morning the honey-colored terraces of Bath appear on the skyline, the River Avon threading through the city and guiding you toward Roman stone and Georgian façades.

Conservation
Visitors are encouraged to stick to footpaths in village green spaces and avoid touching fragile masonry in historic sites; local conservation groups work to preserve both stone architecture and river habitats.
