MORE INFORMATION
MAGICAL STONEHENGE
One of the most important prehistoric monuments in the world, visible from miles around, is Stonehenge. Dating back around 5,000 years and standing alone on Salisbury Plain, these ancient stones have puzzled, intrigued and fascinated through the centuries.
Photograph this great monument, hear the facts and theories about its purpose and wonder at the ingenuity and perseverance of ancient man. Decide for yourself whether it was a temple or astronomical calendar, see the burial mounds of the pre-historic Bronze Age people, and hear about the recent finds.
SALISBURY CATHEDRAL
Complete with the tallest and best preserved spire (123m/404ft) in the country, Salisbury is probably the finest medieval Cathedral in Britain. It is home to the best preserved Magna Carta (1215AD), a unique 13th century frieze of bible stories in the octagonal Chapter House, the largest Cloisters in Britain and Europe’s oldest working clock (1386AD). Choristers sing daily services, continuing a tradition of worship that goes back nearly 800 years.
Enjoy Tower tours most days. Open every day of the year.
LUNCH IN SALISBURY
Situated opposite the St Ann’s Gate entrance to Salisbury Cathedral is the 13th century Kings Arms. The lively inn once provided food and drink to King Charles I. Enjoy real ale, wine and great food in surroundings that will complement a visit to the magnificent cathedral. (Tour price does not include lunch).
BATH
The glorious and spectacular city of Bath - with its classic Georgian terraces and elegant crescents that seem to sweep down to the steep slopes of the River Avon - owes its history to the hot spring water that gave the city its name. Rising from 3km underground and gushing forth at a constant temperature of 46c, this unique resource still flows through the ruins of the magnificent temple and bath-house built by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago.
The first English city to be designated a World heritage site, a panoramic drive around the Bath will demonstrate why, revealing a masterpiece of 18th century vision and city planning.
Don’t forget Bath Abbey, known as the ‘lantern of the West’, and Pulteney Bridge.
