STONEHENGE
Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and there are many alternative views about the origins of the site and the reasons for its existence. Some of the stones used in the construction came from Wales, over 385km away and construction took place over a period of 1500 years, having started around 3100BC. It is mind-boggling to try to work out why the original builders would have hauled such vast stones over such enormous distances. Entry to the famous circle of stones at Stonehenge is not included in the tour price but it is worthwhile purchasing a walking audio tour as it provides information on the mystery of who, how, when and why the stone circle was built.
SALISBURY
Having visited Stonehenge in the morning you will spend the afternoon in Salisbury. Salisbury Cathedral dates back to the 1200's and is famous for having the tallest spire in the UK (123m); the spire leans sideways and the cathedral clock is one of the oldest clocks in England. Visit the Chapter House where you can view one of the four surviving originals of the Magna Carta. Take in the amazing view from the tower and discover more about Salisbury and Stonehenge at the Wiltshire Museum. You will have time to visit the local market (except Sundays) and explore the many unique shops in the city centre. Take a stroll through the many public gardens or along the river bank out into the Meadows to where the famous English Artist Constable painted the Cathedral. The Bishop's Walk on the edge of the city provides excellent views and you can also visit the Old Sarum Castle ruins and the remains of the original cathedral. Ghost tours are very popular as many of the old buildings are reputed to be haunted.
