    Stonehenge

    Your day begins with a visit to one of the most mysterious sites on Earth, that prehistoric and world-famous stone monument known as Stonehenge. The landscape is peppered with burial chambers and stone circles, each one thousands of years old and shrouded in mysteries, but Stonehenge rises above them all. Located on Salisbury Plain and keeping its 5,000 years of history quite secret, Stonehenge has been described as everything from an astronomical clock to a place of worship or burial. Your guide will explain what is known today and reveal the theories that have been debated for centuries. Ponder these theories as you walk around the stones and admire the scenic views.

    Glastonbury Abbey

    Your tour continues to the small town of Glastonbury, supposed home of the mysterious isle of Avalon, the place where King Arthur’s sword was forged, according to legend. It was here, after the Battle of Camlann, that a mortally wounded King Arthur died. Stop for a photo of the famous Glastonbury Tor and view the ruins of St Michael's church. Continue into town to visit Glastonbury Abbey, the site of Arthur’s and Queen Guinevere's graves, before enjoying some free time in the town of Glastonbury for lunch in a quaint cafe, browse a quirky local shop, or make the walk up Glastonbury Tor.
