Small Group Stonehenge, Glastonbury & Avebury

What your day looks like

Explore ancient Stonehenge, travel to the mystical Island of Avalon to learn the legends of King Arthur and explore the Neolithic and Bronze Age landscape at Avebury. We leave London and travel towards the great, mysterious Neolithic circle of Stonehenge, which stands high on the horizon. Our guided tour here will give you a chance to learn more about this monument, of its builders and those that worshipped there. There are many unanswered questions and many more theories and ideas that are open to debate, your guide will explain what is known and what may never be known and then leave you to explore and ponder its awe-inspiring presence. The complex also boasts a heritage museum and gift shop for souvenirs. We then travel onwards to the Isle of Avalon, through backroads of villages built of flint and thatch, from chalk downland into the rolling limestone hills of the Mendips to Glastonbury Tor. Stopping for a photo opportunity where legend tells us Arthur was brought after being mortally wounded in battle. In the ruins of the once great Glastonbury Abbey, we find the gravesite of Arthur and learn of older legends like that of Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail and the Crown of Thorns. After exploring the unique shops in the town we head over to the Chalice Well Gardens, drink from the spring and learn of the fate of the holy chalice from the Last Supper. We end the day at Avebury; a World Heritage Site, complete with massive stone circle complexes, hauled into place by Neolithic worshippers thousands of years ago and village of thatched cottages sitting inside of it. After a guided walk and free time you'll begin your journey back to London. On the return to London, your driver will drop you at Victoria Train Station in the city center. This is one of the largest transport stations in London, with excellent connections to all parts of London and beyond.
