Itinerary

Stonehenge

2 hours Admission not included

We'll start the day with a relaxed drive through the quintessential English countryside. As the huge stone circle appears on the horizon, your guide will reveal fascinating stories about it's construction and theories around it's meaning. Was it an astronomical calendar, a burial ground, a place of healing or worship? Marvel at the shear size of the Sarcen stones, some weighing over 30 tonnes and the precision with which they are arranged.
Salisbury Cathedral

2 hours Admission not included

After enjoying the time to wander around the mysterious monoliths of Stonehenge, you will have the option of stopping for a classic English pub lunch before making your way to Medieval Salisbury, where your guide will lead you through 800 years of history in Salisbury Cathedral, pointing out it's incredible hand carved columns, the tallest spire in Britain and it's best preserved copy of the historic Magna Carta.
Weymouth Beach

Passing by

When arriving back in the vacinity of the cruise ship, you will have the chance of a slow cruise through Weymouth's Seafront and its harbour, with lifting Victorian bridge. Weymouth was one of the first seaside resorts in the UK, made famous and trendy by King George III for his habit of visiting for sea bathing and enjoyment of the scenic area. Today the area is a popular tourist resort, with a working harbour full of yachts and fishing vessels.

You will have the option to be dropped off here if time allows, in order to enjoy your last few hours in the town before making your way to the ship.
