Stonehenge
Building began over 5000 years ago. You will hear how the ancient Britons
quarried, carved and lifted these stones. No place has generated so much
speculation and wild theories as the standing stones of Stonehenge. After
driving for miles through the rolling hills and plains of the English
countryside the sight of this unusual structure makes people gasp. A walk
around it only provokes more strange feelings. There's a sense that this
is something very important. It taunts us with its mystery. Yet despite
all that has been learned about its age and construction, its purpose
still remains one of the great mysteries of the world.
Bath
Famous for it's Roman history and Georgian architecture, Bath has an atmosphere
that is unsurpassed. Enjoy a guided tour around this World Heritage city,
once home to Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Gainsborough, Lord Nelson and
Beau Nash.
See the impressive architecture surrounding Royal Crescent and The Circus,
Pultney Bridge and the weir, Bath Abbey and the Assembly Rooms. Hear the
history of the city and find out about the characters that have shaped
it into the city we see today.
There will be plenty of time to visit the Roman Baths and Museum, the
Pump Rooms and even Sally Lunn's Tea Shop. You can explore the quaint
shops and weave you way through the narrow streets. You could even enjoy
a picnic beside the rushing waters of the River Avon.
