We’ll combine a countryside hike and some sightseeing with a visit to the Bath Christmas Market, which is regularly named one of the best in the UK and Europe. **TRIP HIGHLIGHTS** * Wander around the bustling Bath Christmas Market and the streets of this historic UNESCO World Heritage city. Each year, the picturesque city centre is transformed into a magical Christmas shopper’s paradise, as over 200 twinkling chalets packed full of gorgeous gifts and festive treats line the streets around the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey. One of the UK’s largest Christmas markets, it’s sure to have something for everyone! * Discover Castle Combe, a quintessentially English village often called the prettiest in the country. It feels untouched by time: no new houses have been built here since the 1600s. Several major Hollywood films have been shot here, including *The Wolf Man*, *Stardust* and Steven Spielberg’s *War Horse*. * Admire the honey-coloured 15th-century Cotswold stone cottages and the old packhorse bridge. * Walk through the beautiful valleys, wooded hillsides and streams of the South Cotswolds. * Enjoy a leisurely lunch in the medieval village of Lacock, with its many half-timbered houses. It has appeared on screen many times, most famously in *Harry Potter*, *Downton Abbey* and *Pride and Prejudice*. **DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY** Distance: 6 miles (9km). Ascent: 220m.
