Itinerary
You will be collected from your preferred pick-up point in Bath and will be driven to the small village of Avebury in a private car. Avebury is home to the world's largest stone circle which dates back thousands of years. With your guide you will explore the remains of this ancient stone circle and your guide will explain about its history and the latest discoveries. Unlike Stonehenge, you are free to wander among the stones and touch them. Today the site remains an important spiritual place for people.
After exploring Avebury we will continue to the West Kennet Long Barrow which is one of the oldest pre-historic monuments in the country, built over 5,600 years ago! It is a communal tomb which once housed the remains of a number of individuals. Today it is one of the best examples of a pre-historic chambered tomb and should you wish visitors can go inside.
During the tour we will pass Silbury Hill - a man-made chalk hill. Built thousands of years ago its exact purpose remains a mystery. It is said that Stonehenge could fit on the top of it!
After lunch we will continue to Britain's most famous pre-historic monument: Stonehenge. Your guide will take you around the Visitor Centre and the ancient stone circle. Your guide will explain about its history, how archaeologists believe it was constructed and will tell you interesting stories behind the site. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos. After exploring Stonehenge you will be driven back to Bath.

About Bath
Bath, in the west of England, is a Georgian spa city of honey-coloured stone, built around natural hot springs first used by the Romans.
Bath's hot springs were first enclosed by the Romans, who built a temple and bathhouse complex here in the first century, now the Roman Baths museum beside Bath Abbey. In the eighteenth century the city rebuilt itself as a fashionable spa in pale local limestone, and the terraces and crescents designed by John Wood the Elder and the Younger, including the Circus and the Royal Crescent, give it its look. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Top-ranked sights in Bath: Roman Baths, Royal Crescent, The Circus.
