Inner Circle viewing of Stonehenge & visit to Lacock & Bath

Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. The stones are restricted to most visitors, with direct access to the stones not being permitted. Come with us and enjoy a special viewing of the mysterious monoliths. We will enter the stone circle itself, and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks, towering above us. Your guide will explain the history of this ancient site, pointing out the altar, slaughter and heel stones, above which the sun rises dramatically on the summer solstice. There will be time to enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as we experience Stonehenge at its most mystical and atmospheric best.

After your mystical morning experience, we travel onwards to Lacock. Lacock is a little known, picturesque village which dates back to the Saxon era. Many of the beautiful buildings originally formed part of an extensive monastic complex and are now owned by The National Trust. So pretty is the village, that it has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas including Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and more recently Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We will take a delightful walk before we enjoy breakfast/dinner in The George Inn, a traditional English pub built in 1361. (please note that food and drinks are not included). 

After some time in Lacock, the tour makes for Bath, a world heritage site. Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. There will be plenty of time to visit Bath Abbey, or to shop and explore. Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you where Charles Dickens lived and worked as a young man, and a give you a chance to sample some delicious cheeses fresh from the local dairy farms. Then we will enter the magnificent Roman Baths, where over one million litres of boiling water still burst free from the hot springs everyday.
