Highlights
Cheddar Town Visit
Cheddar Gorge Walk (optional)
Glastonbury Tor Walk (optional)

Glastonbury is most well-known for its annual music festival, but is also described by some as the 'quirkiest town in England' and attracts a lot of attention for its religious, pagan & mythical significance. We will visit the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey that was one of the many architectural victims to Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in the 1500s, where the Holy Thorn that is said to have descended from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea flowers twice a year - at Easter & Christmas. Glastonbury Abbey also claims to be the burial place of the legendary King Arthur & Queen Guinevere. You will also get the chance to climb up Glastonbury Tor to St Michael's Tower, another site steeped in mystery that is associated with King Arthur, Celtic mythology & is even thought by some to be where the Holy Grail is buried, to see spectacular views across the Somerset plains.

We also visit Cheddar, home of the Cheddar cheese & Cheddar Man - the oldest complete human skeleton found in Britain estimated at 9000yrs of age. You will get a chance to explore the town with its cheese shops & cafes, enter the underground caves where prehistoric man resided, and walk across the cliff edge overlooking the gorge.

Over 900 years of royal history are waiting for you in Windsor Castle, which is perched high above the River Thames just outside of London. From William the Conqueror all the way through to our current Queen, successive monarchs have lived here and left their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world.

We shall be amongst the first people to enter Windsor Castle, so you can see for yourself the splendour of St. George’s chapel and the sumptuous state apartments. The most famous prehistoric monument in the world, and now a world heritage site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years and it has been home to pagan religion and spiritual worship, not to be mention public debate ever since. What was this vast collection of stones intended for?

Was it observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40 ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design.

Our final stop is Bath, another world heritage site. Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture.

This unexplained sequence of rocks has captivated the hearts and minds of humans for thousands of years. There are tours every morning with an afternoon one in high season.

Explore this Unesco World Heritage Site comprised of almost 80 stones, some weighing up to 40 tonnes. An abundance of theories surround Stonehenge; from those claiming it is a religious temple to others arguing it could be an astronomical clock and even a Bronze Age burial ground. How did these stones get there? What was the site’s purpose? Was it a burial site? Was it an astronomical clock? How did our primitive ancestors have the knowledge and technology to align the stones with the solstices and equinoxes? Learn more about this ancient monument that continues to puzzle scholars.

Carbon dating and analysis of bones and teeth found at the site suggests that thousands of people and animals gathered at Stonehenge in the third millennium BC, with some from as far as Scotland, which was some feat in Neolithic times.

With Stonehenge, there are more questions than answers, which helps explain why this thought-provoking tour remains one of the most popular in England. Will you be able to release your inner Indiana Jones and solve the timeless mysteries of Stonehenge?

At Windsor Castle, the Coronation Dress and Robe of Estate worn by The Queen for her Coronation at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953 will be on display.

Her Majesty’s Robe of Estate was made by the royal robe-makers Ede and Ravenscroft of purple silk velvet.
