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 driver will take you to Salisbury Cathedral, with it's incredible hand carved columns, the tallest spire in Britain and it's best preserved copy of the historic Magna Carta.
