Description
No tour to the UK would be complete without visiting the famous Stonehenge. Standing on Salisbury Hill, their presence is shrouded in mystery and has baffled scientists and scholars for years. Their origin and the reason for their existence is largely unknown although there is much speculation of course. Seeing the stones up close really gives you an insight as to why they provoke such debate. They are truly magnificent to behold and the experience is a magical one and not to be missed.
Next up is a visit to Salisbury to the see probably the finest medieval cathedral in Britain. The cathedral with its’ magnificent architecture is 800 years old and has an amazing spire of 123m (404ft) high. You will also get to see the Magna Carta from 1215, which is the famous agreement between King John and his barons at Runnymede and is part of the early process leading to modern constitutional law. The Cathedral is awe inspiring to visit and immense in size, seating 1900 people.
Lunch = Optional (with Tour 8L)
Lunch for a little extra will be at a historic pub in Salisbury
After lunch is a panoramic tour of Bath. This Georgian city stands on the slopes of the River Avon. As a world heritage site, it is a city untouched and unspoilt. With so much history here, there is much to see including Bath Abbey which was the location for the crowning of the first British King in 973AD. You will also see the famous Pulteney Bridge that crosses the River Avon. It was built in 1773 by Robert Adam.
We will be stopping at the famous Roman Baths, one of the finest thermal spas of the ancient world.
