OVERVIEW

Become immersed in mystery and antiquity by visiting medieval Salisbury and mythical Stonehenge before heading to the airport to catch your flight. You will be free to explore Salisbury on your own, where you might visit the 13th-century cathedral. It holds the oldest working clock in Britain and an original copy of the Magna Carta signed at Runnymede in 1215. Situated at the confluence of the Avon and Wiley rivers, Salisbury still reflects its original gridiron layout. Stonehenge, surely the most well-known prehistoric site in England, is less than 10 miles away on Salisbury Plain. The massive stones of this UNESCO World Heritage site were transported as far as 150 miles and erected using precise interlocking joints. Exactly how Stonehenge was constructed sometime around 2500 B.C. and its ultimate purpose are not completely understood. The guide will offer theories, leaving you with plenty to reflect upon on the way to Heathrow Airport.
