Plenty of time to visit the extensive information centre and wonderful displays.

There is also a café for refreshments..

You will need to pay your guide on the day of the tour for your Stonehenge ticket.

Castle Combe village

Voted the prettiest village in England. An idyllic Cotswold village nestling in a wooded valley.

This has been a movie and historical drama film location for Stardust, Warhorse & Poirot as well as the original Dr. Dolittle.

Time to wander through the village or sit and relax by the stream.

Cherhill White Horse – Photo Stop

Cherhill white horse is nearly 300 years old. This beautiful white horse is one of 13 in Wiltshire.

Carved out of the chalk hills they appear dramatic against the rich green landscape. These are best viewed and most photogenic when seen from a distance.

Avebury stone circles and village

Walk freely amongst these magnificent stones.

Soak up the atmosphere and the magical charm of this ancient site. Try your hand at dowsing. Time to wander around this pretty village with its 17th century thatched pub.

Silbury Hill - Photo Stop

This is the largest human made object in prehistoric Europe.

It was built 4800 years ago and took longer to build than Stonehenge.

Its purpose is still one of the great unsolved mysteries.

Lacock National Trust Village – Lunch Stop

Lacock National Trust village is our location for lunch

This is an unspoilt National Trust village on the edge of the Cotswolds and appears as if trapped in time. There has been no major construction here for the last 200 years.

Featuring in many films and period dramas including;

Harry Potter,
Pride and Prejudice,
Larkrise to Candleford
and Downton Abbey to name a few.

Lacock Abbey is one of the few remaining Tudor Monasteries which became home to William Fox Talbot, a major pioneer in photography.

To make the most of your time at Lacock you may wish to purchase a take-out lunch at the deli or bakery. There is also a cafe. It's always good to soak up the atmosphere in a village pub with a drink, but ordering food in high season can take a long time.
