TOUR: 11. Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury and Magna Carta
First stop on this awesome tour is the lavish Windsor Castle. Take a short walk through the quaint town of Windsor and approach Her Majesty the Queen’s favourite weekend residence! A royal home for over 900 years, this sprawling castle is spectacular and steeped in history.
The State Apartments are a sight to behold. Filled with ornate weaponry and priceless works of art, including pieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt, the audio guide tells you all you need to know about each lavishly decorated room. Visit Queen Mary’s intricate doll’s house, which features tiny silverware, a miniscule working kitchen and a mini version of the Crown Jewels! St George’s Chapel is the final resting place of the Queen Mother, as well as Henry VIII and his most-loved wife Jane Seymour.
Stonehenge Continue your picturesque journey to the mystical Stonehenge. These mysterious rocks have stood on Salisbury Plain for over 5,000 years; some say we will never know for sure what they stand for. Perhaps this is an astronomical clock? Maybe it was a religious temple. Whatever you decide, nothing can compare to the feeling of standing in front of such an ancient monument. A breathtaking city, Bath was the first city in England to become a UNESCO World Heritage site. Filled with exquisite Roman and Georgian architecture and featuring natural hot springs that were once popular for public bathing, see the 15th century Bath Abbey and explore the amazing independent shops and quaint cafes.
Roman Baths You can’t have a soak in them anymore, but the Roman Baths are still a charming historic attraction and gave the city its name – proof that the Baths are definitely worth seeing! You will also visit the Pump Room and have the opportunity to sip Bath’s waters in this enchanting neo-classical salon.
