Itinerary

  1. Windsor Castle

    2 hours Admission not included

    Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. It is open to visitors throughout the year.

    Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 40 monarchs.

    Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, about 25 miles (40 km) west of central London. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost a millennium of architectural history.

    The original castle was built in the 11th century, after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I (who reigned 1100–1135), it has been used by the reigning monarch and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe.

  2. Salisbury Cathedral

    50 min Admission not included

    Salisbury Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in the city of Salisbury, England. The cathedral is considered the beau idéal of Early English Gothic design. Built over a relatively short period, some 38 years between 1220 and 1258, it has a unity and coherence that is unusual in medieval English cathedrals. The tower and spire were completed by 1330 and at 404 feet (123 m) is the tallest church spire in England.

    Early English church, home to the Magna Carta and notable clock dating from 1386, with tower tours.

  3. Stonehenge

    1 h 30 min Admission not included

    Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. It was built in several stages: the first monument was an early henge monument, built about 5,000 years ago, and the unique stone circle was erected in the late Neolithic period about 2500 BC. In the early Bronze Age many burial mounds were built nearby.

    Today, together with Avebury, Stonehenge forms the heart of a World Heritage Site, with a unique concentration of prehistoric monuments.

  4. Jane Austen's House

    2 hours Admission not included

    Jane Austen’s House in the Hampshire village of Chawton is one of the most important literary sites in the world. It was in this inspiring cottage that Jane Austen’s genius flourished and where she wrote, revised, and had published all six of her globally beloved novels. Step back in time to 1816 and follow in Jane’s footsteps; discover the rooms where she lived and wrote and see her writing table, jewellery, letters and first editions of her novels up close. Explore the pretty cottage garden, try your hand at traditional garden games and enjoy Regency dress up, bonnet designing and more! Browse the unique rage of gifts and books in the beautiful Gift Shop and relax with an ice cream on the lawn.

    Jane Austen is buried in the north nave aisle of Winchester Cathedral and visitors travel from around the world, throughout the year, to pay their respects.

  5. Highclere Castle

    2 hours Admission not included

    The first written records of the estate date back to 749 AD when an Anglo-Saxon King granted the estate to the Bishops of Winchester. Bishop William of Wykeham built a beautiful medieval palace and gardens in the park. Later on, in 1679, the palace was rebuilt as Highclere Place House when it was purchased by Sir Robert Sawyer, the direct ancestor of the current Earl of Carnarvon. In 1842, Sir Charles Barry, who also designed the Houses of Parliament, transformed Highclere House into the present day Highclere Castle.

    The number of tickets is limited, We strongly recommend booking as soon as possible.
