If you catch Stonehenge on a foggy day, you're in for a real treat. The fog enhances the mystery, making the ancient history of the stones feel even more captivating...

Here’s Jules, on the 27th of December, leading a 'Stonehenge and Secret England' tour with some wonderful guests, immersed in the fog-filled magic of the moment ✨

Over the Christmas break, team member Will visited the stunning National Trust property, Tyntesfield, with his family (an ongoing tradition 🎄). Naturally, he couldn’t resist snapping some photos for the company’s image library—an occupational hazard, right? 😉

National Trust properties are a fantastic festive outing, offering enchanting trails, events for little ones, and plenty for adults to enjoy too!

⚠️ Quick reminder: Check each location’s opening times before heading out! Schedules vary, but some properties are open between Christmas and New Year.

Do you have a tradition of visiting National Trust properties during the holidays? Which ones are your favourites to explore? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from all of us at In & Beyond Bath! ✨🎄

This year, we wanted to do something extra special, so we commissioned a beautiful Christmas card, illustrated by the talented Odditycraft.

As we wrap up another year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on all the adventures, stories, and connections we’ve shared with you. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re so grateful to do what we love!

🌍 Exploring Bath & Beyond with Travel Leaders from France and Germany!

As part of the recent MarketPlace, Jules was thrilled to host a small group of French and German travel trade leaders, offering them a first hand experience of the beauty and history In & Beyond Bath.

Here’s a glimpse of our journey together:

✨ Bradford-on-Avon: We kicked things off with a stroll through backstreets filled with historic weavers’ cottages—a reminder of the town’s rich heritage from its pre-industrial glory days.

🏰 Lacock: Our scenic route led us through hidden gems like Great Chalfield Manor and past some friendly geese before arriving at Lacock. This quintessential English village showcases timeless architecture and atmosphere.

🏨 Castle Combe: A tour of the Manor House Hotel, followed by a delicious lunch at Castle Inn, made for a memorable stop. Afterward, we took a leisurely walk through the village to visit the medieval church and serene streets.

🚤 Sally Narrowboats, Bradford-on-Avon: Our journey wrapped up with a peaceful canal tour aboard Sally Narrowboats, offering a unique view of local life and countryside charm.

Sharing these highlights was a joy, and we hope to inspire new journeys along the Great West Way!

If you’d like to arrange your own Private or Shared Tour
