Bath day trips from London — by coach with Stonehenge, or by train on your own

Bath is 75 minutes from Paddington by direct train, so the only real reason to take a tour is Stonehenge. Coach days that combine the two cost about £55–£85; here’s what each includes and when the train makes more sense.

Skip it if

You only want Bath

Take the train. It’s 75 minutes each way, the Roman Baths and the Abbey are a short walk from Bath Spa station, and you get the whole day there.

Is a Bath day trip from London worth taking as a tour?

A Bath day trip from London by tour only really pays off if you want Stonehenge on the same day. Bath itself is a 75-minute direct train ride from Paddington, and the Roman Baths, the Abbey and the Pump Room are a short walk from the station. Stonehenge isn’t: it’s a bus ride from Salisbury, which is on a different line out of London — so a coach that does both is the easy way to see the two together.

Prices are today’s “from” prices in our partner feed; the private car is per vehicle, the rest per person. The cheaper combos tend to leave admissions to you, so add the Roman Baths (£23.50–£33 for an adult booked ahead) and possibly Stonehenge (about £25–£29 booked ahead) before deciding which is really cheapest.

The train fares come from National Rail’s journey planner for a Thursday in early November, searched two weeks ahead: direct returns from Paddington ranged from about £50 to £63 depending on the train (slower trains with changes started at about £43). Buy on the day and you’ll pay more.

What it costs for a family or group of four

Four seats on the coach come to roughly £220–£340, depending on the tour, before any admissions it leaves out. A private car for the same Stonehenge-and-Bath day starts at about £420 for the vehicle, plus four Stonehenge tickets (about £100–£115 booked ahead) and the Roman Baths. Add the same tickets to both and private works out at roughly £40–£60 more per person for four — the price of your own timings, no group to wait for and longer in Bath. For two people the gap is much wider, and the coach or the train is the sensible choice.

What to see in Bath on a day trip

  • The Roman Baths — the Great Bath, the Sacred Spring and the temple remains. Tours run hourly from 10am to 3pm for up to 16 people.
  • Bath Abbey — beside the Roman Baths, in the centre.
  • The Royal Crescent and the Circus — the Georgian set pieces, an uphill walk from the Abbey.
  • Pulteney Bridge — shops built across the river.

On a coach day you’ll realistically manage the Roman Baths and a walk past the rest. Coach tours that add a stop on the way — Lacock, used as a Harry Potter location, is a common one — are compared on our Cotswolds tours page.

Which combo: Stonehenge, Windsor or both?

Stonehenge and Bath is the classic pairing, and the best-rated tour of the lot. Adding Windsor turns it into the most-booked day trip from London but squeezes each stop — see Windsor Castle tours for a half-day alternative by train. For more on the stones themselves, including inner circle access, see Stonehenge tours from London. If you’re four or more and want longer in Bath, a private day trip is the better deal, and our day trips by train guide covers other easy rail escapes.

Questions people ask

Can you do a day trip to Bath from London?
Easily. Direct trains from Paddington to Bath Spa take about 1 hour 15 minutes and run roughly every 30 minutes, according to GWR. Booked about two weeks ahead, a weekday return on a direct train came up from about £50 on National Rail’s planner. Coach tours make sense if you also want Stonehenge, which is hard to combine with Bath by public transport in one day.
How much is a Bath tour from London?
In our partner feed today, Stonehenge-and-Bath coach days cost about £55 to £85 per person, and the three-stop Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath days about £72. Whether the Roman Baths and Stonehenge tickets are included varies by listing — read the inclusions before you compare prices.
How much are Roman Baths tickets?
The Roman Baths price by season and day. Booked in advance, an adult pays £26.50 on weekdays and £29 at weekends for September and October 2026, dropping to £23.50 and £26.50 from 1 November to 18 December. Tickets on the day cost £2 more. A one-hour guided tour is an extra £8.
How long do you get in Bath on a tour?
Less than you’d like. On a Stonehenge-and-Bath day, the coach spends most of the eleven hours on the road and at the stones, usually leaving a few hours in Bath (check the itinerary) — enough for the Roman Baths and a walk past the Abbey and the Royal Crescent, not much more. The three-stop days with Windsor give you less again.
Is Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath in one day too much?
It’s a long day of 11–12 hours, and the most-booked day trip from London regardless. Take it if this is your only chance to see all three; otherwise split it — Windsor is a half day by train, and a Stonehenge-and-Bath tour on another day gives Bath more time.
Bath or the Cotswolds for a day trip?
Bath for history, architecture and the Roman Baths — and it’s easy by train. The Cotswolds for villages and countryside, which really needs a tour or a car. Some tours combine Bath with Lacock or Castle Combe on the edge of the Cotswolds; see our Cotswolds page for the small-group options.
