Program details
Let your mind wander and feel your senses tingle at the sight of one of the most mysterious human constructions in the world: Stonehenge. Located in the heart of the green county of Wiltshire, the meaning of this prehistoric monument has eluded mankind throughout the centuries. Later, this same tour takes you to another Unesco World Heritage Site, the charming village of Bath; two breath-taking destinations in one day.
Many things have been suggested about Stonehenge: that it was a temple, a healing centre, a burial site, a calendar… And another mystery: how did prehistoric men actually lift and position these gigantic rocks? The story behind this awe-inspiring creation is adrift in the waves of time, just out of our reach, and all we can do now is grope aimlessly for an explanation or ponder evocatively while contemplating its beauty.
Before moving on, enjoy a hearty lunch where you will discover the pleasure of a traditional British meal. After that, enjoy some leisurely free time in Bath, a quaint village proudly perched on the sloped that run alongside the River Avon. There are many sites inside this small town that will conquer your heart. The gorgeous Bath Abbey, which dates as far back as the 15th century; the magnificent Georgian architecture; the wonderful Pulteney Bridge, which, modelled on the Ponte Vecchio of Florence, will evoke many a romantic feeling in your heart. All these sights added to the magic of Stonehenge will make this a day with wonder aplenty.
