This private, hosted excursion offers a seamless transition from the urban elegance of Georgian Bath into the tranquil Somerset countryside. Guests embark on a tailored bicycle journey that blends historic architecture, scenic waterways, and local secrets most visitors rarely find. The experience balances effortless exploration with refined comfort, capturing a distinctively local spirit that moves at a relaxed, guest-led pace.
The day begins with a hotel meet-up and an orientation ride past landmarks like the Royal Crescent and Pulteney Bridge before hitting the countryside trails. A morning stop at a canalside apiary for a local honey tasting leads into a wellness pause at Warleigh Weir, where guests enjoy a private wood-fired sauna, warm drinks, and an optional cold river dip. The journey then winds through picturesque village lanes to Combe Hay for a generous lunch at The Wheatsheaf, a historic 16th-century pub celebrated for its excellent fish and chips, exceptional wine list, local Otter beer, and indulgent puddings. Afterward, a pre-arranged taxi returns guests to Bath while the bikes are recovered separately.
