You roll out of central London before dawn, the city lights shrinking behind you as the A303 unfurls toward chalk downland. By mid‑morning the silhouette of Stonehenge rises from the mist — blunt, deliberate stones that interrupt the skyline and invite you to walk around an ancient geometry. Later the car eases into Winchester, where a medieval cathedral looms over cobbled lanes and the River Itchen threads through green meadows, daring you to slow down.
