    Your self-guided visit begins at the Roman Baths, where you can view the well-preserved ancient bathing complex and learn how Romans once enjoyed these thermal waters.

Stroll through the city’s charming streets to admire landmarks like The Royal Crescent and The Circus, perfect examples of 18th-century design. Take a relaxing walk through Royal Victoria Park or shop in the boutiques of Milsom Street. Stop at Pulteney Bridge for riverside views and photos.

    Stonehenge

    Located on the vast Salisbury Plain, this prehistoric monument dates back over 5,000 years. Your self-guided visit begins at the Visitor Centre, where you’ll find fascinating exhibits, interactive displays, and Neolithic artifacts that provide context about the site’s builders and its possible meanings. A shuttle or a scenic 30-minute walk takes you to the stone circle itself. As you explore the outer path, admire the sheer scale and alignment of these giant stones, some transported from over 150 miles away. The purpose of Stonehenge remains debated—possibly a temple, burial site, or ancient calendar—but its mystery is part of its allure. Take your time, listen to the official audio guide or simply observe in silence. Don’t miss the reconstructed Neolithic village near the visitor centre, offering a glimpse into life 4,500 years ago. Enjoy this timeless journey into the ancient past.
