In this tour, we are aiming to give you more information about Stonehenge as well as Woodhenge in order to reveal the strong connection between two ancient sites. In the Neolithic period, some 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge evolved from a simple bank and a ditch into a very sophisticated rock circle on a midsummer sunrise axis. Stonehenge may have been an astronomical observatory or used in sacred, sun-like, or even death rituals. Salisbury might be one of the most beautiful heritage towns of England and only 20 minutes away from Stonehenge. It’s a jackpot to visit both destinations in English culture. Magnificent Salisbury Cathedral is surrounded by historical buildings and museums in the spectacular Cathedral Close. You will marvel at the magnificent Gothic architecture and explore this living church's past and present. You will also note that the 750th anniversary was in 2008 when you look at the best-preserved original Magna Carta. Get ready for a true Stonehenge experience with us!

As one of Britain’s most iconic links to the prehistoric past, Stonehenge has enchanted visitors for generations. Learn about the specific placement of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, and why archaeologists believe this was so important to the area’s Neolithic ancestors. Woodhenge, discovered in 1925, is similarly important to understanding Human civilizations in Britain 5,000 years ago.
