1Stonehenge
Stonehenge is one of the world’s most iconic and mysterious ancient landmarks. This awe-inspiring circle represents an extraordinary feat of Neolithic engineering and astronomical precision. As you explore Stonehenge with your guide, you will literally be walking in the footsteps of ancient Britons, curious Romans, and even US Presidents. During the tour, you will discover how these megaliths and smaller Blue stones were transported over hundreds of miles using primitive technology, before being perfectly aligned with the solstices to mark the changing seasons. The mystery surrounding Stonehenge's alignment with the sun only adds to its intrigue. As your guide explains the latest theories behind Stonehenge, they will also reveal some of the ancient stories that explain this spectacular stone circle. Standing close to these stones on the sweeping Salisbury Plain, it’s possible to feel the weight of history or, if you’re lucky, hear ancient tales whispered on the breeze.

2Salisbury Cathedral
Salisbury Cathedral is an unmissable landmark that has captivated visitors for over 800 years. Home to Britain’s tallest spire, this Gothic masterpiece boasts the world’s oldest working clock and the best-preserved original Magna Carta (one of only four surviving copies worldwide). During the tour, you will hear why the cathedral had to be moved from nearby Old Sarum, and how this move resulted in the Gothic masterpiece we see today. As you marvel at the medieval architecture, you will also discover how the now-famous tower was added and the problems the additional weight caused to the rest of the building. You will also learn about Salisbury Cathedral’s need for wet weather and why it's prone to flooding. At the end of the tour, you will have the chance to see the best-preserved copy of the Magna Carta, a document of international importance, and understand why this 800-year-old set of laws still has relevance today.
