Same day trip to Windsor , Bath and Stonehenge

Hi,
I bought a tour to make a full day trip to Windsor, stonehenge and Bath but I am wondering if that feels too rushed? I want to spend sometime in Bath to visit Jane Austen center etc, Does it make more sense to just a tour to stonehenge and Bath and do Windsor castle by train? Our family is not really into Royalty so I am not sure if Windsor warrants a trip by itself?

Other options was Stonehenge and Windsor tour and make a trip to Bath by train

Any thoughts?

Windsor and Bath each warrant a full day ( Bath , at least two days , in my opinion ) This sounds like a bus drive by to me , sitting on a bus as they point these places out , don't blink or you'll miss it .

Too much. Too little time.

If little interest in Royalty why visit Windsor?

Bath can be reached by train from Paddington Station in an hour and a half.

Take the train to Bath, and from there take a tour (Mad Max) to Stonehenge. Windsor is a day trip from London.

We once did Stonehenge and Bath in one VERY LONG day. But we were in own rental :car, staying in B&B southwest of London, were at Stonehenge for special early morning access (maybe 7:0 am?), and at Bath several hours walking around to see the baths, Jane Austen center (and tea there), and other places. We prefer being in control of which direction to take - maybe stop along the way to take a closer look at something, where to linger and what to skip. But you have to get used to driving in UK/ We may try trains next time since we're getting older now...

No to doing all 3 in one day. Windsor is a good day trip from London, but if you're not into royalty, give more time to Bath.

Both Bath and Windsor are nice day trips from London. While you might not be able to see everything in Bath (depending on your interests) but you can get a good feel for it. For Windsor, the train ride is shorter and even if you spent 4 hours at the castle, there would still be some ti e to walk around town.

I did Stonehenge and Windsor in a single day with a private driver. I felt even that was rushed, but other members of the group were satisfied.
