About Windsor & Windsor Castle
Windsor is a suburban town and tourist destination in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire. It is best known as the site of Windsor Castle. The town is situated 21 miles (34 km) west of Charing Cross. It is immediately south of the River Thames, which forms its boundary with Eton. The village of Old Windsor, just over two miles to the south, predates what is now called Windsor by around 300 years. In the past Windsor was formally referred to as New Windsor to distinguish the two.

Windsor Castle (Entrance is included on this tour) is one of the official residences of the British Royal Family. The castle was originally established by King William I of England but has been substantially altered and added to over the centuries.

Windsor Castle is the largest inhabited castle in the world and dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation

As a result of the royal residence Windsor has facilities usually found in larger towns: two railway stations, a theatre and several substantial hotels. The town is also the location of Legoland, built on the site of Windsor Safari Park.

The Windsor wheel is a more recent addition to the town's tourist attractions and provides an overhead view of the surrounding area, including the castle, Eton and the Thames Valley. Located in Alexandra Gardens near the River Thames, it is assembled in the summer and dismantled in the autumn.

About Bath
The Roman city of Bath in Somerset is approximately 99 miles west of London, it was founded among the surrounding hills, in the valley of the River Avon, around naturally occurring hot springs where the Roman built baths and a temple giving it the name Aquae Sulis.  Much later, it became a popular spa resort during the Georgian era, which then led to a major expansion that left a heritage of outstanding Georgian Architecture crafted from Bath Stone.  The city because a World heritage site in 1987 and is home to a variety of theatres, museums and other cultural and sporting venues, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism!

All significant stages of the history of England are represented within the city, from the Roman Baths, to Bath Abbey and the Royal Crescent, to Thermae Bath Spa in the 2000s.  Since 2006, with the opening of Thermae Bath Spa, the city has attempted to recapture its historical position as the only town in the United Kingdom offering visitors the opportunity to bathe in naturally-heated spring waters.

About the Roman Baths
Visit the heart of the World Heritage Site. Around Britain's only hot spring, the Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water. See the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements. The extensive ruins and treasures from the spring are beautifully preserved and presented using the best of modern interpretation.

Please note you cannot swim in the Roman Baths
