Stonehenge stands as a prehistoric marvel, its standing stones set against the Salisbury Plain’s sweeping horizon. These giant sarsen stones, formed over 4,500 years ago, remain shrouded in mystery regarding their original purpose, their arrangement hinting at astronomical alignments that continue to fascinate archaeologists and visitors. The tour guides shed light on this enigmatic monument’s evolving history while offering ample time to absorb the atmosphere that once held ceremonial and possibly astronomical significance.

Following Stonehenge, the journey continues to the city of Bath, where the elegance of Roman baths and Georgian architecture beckon.

Walking through Bath’s streets unfolds layers of British social history, with cobblestones and façades that tell stories of Roman settlers, aristocratic leisure, and Enlightenment ideals.
