'A Once In A Lifetime Experience'

Due to popular demand we are pleased to combine Stonehenge Special Access with our unique and legendary Magical tour which we have operated since 1995. Truly a day to remember.

The Original and Still The Best!

Experience the history, mystery and magic of the greatest stone circle in the world !

This special tour begins with a scenic countryside drive along the old London-Bath coaching road taking us into the heart of ancient Britain. Our first stop is at the medieval village of Avebury, which is ringed by the largest stone circle in the world and the product of over 500 years of effort by Neolithic man. Enjoy a unique walking tour of the stone circle where your guide will demonstrate the art of dowsing. Try it yourself and prepare to be amazed! There is also time to explore the picturesque village of Avebury with it's thatched cottages, antiques and beautiful church. Maybe enjoy a cream tea, or a pint in the Red Lion Pub - the only pub in the world in the middle of a prehistoric stone circle.

Afterwards, we venture into King Arthur's Avalon and explore the mystery, chivalry and romance of King Arthur. Enjoy a leisurely walk up Glastonbury Tor and enjoy breathtaking views from this fabled Isle of Avalon, rich in myth and legend. Imagine how, in distant times where history fades into legend, the Tor was an isolated island surrounded by sea. Depending on weather conditions we will include a 'luxury picnic' on the Tor itself or a traditional Pub meal in the Glastonbury district

Visit the tranquil Chalice Well Gardens - a timeless and sacred place full of legend, symbolism and atmosphere....... a place whose history has no beginning. Drink from the magical red and white springs.

Explore Glastonbury Abbey, the final resting place of King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere and once a major centre of culture and learning. An earlier legend tells of how Joseph of Arimathea brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury and built a simple church on the site of this great abbey - possibly the first Christian church in England, "the holiest earth in England".

There's also time to savour the special atmosphere of Glastonbury village with its medieval buildings and unusual shops.

We also drive through the Warminster Triangle, a mysterious zone renowned for crop circles (click here for more info on crop circles) and UFO sightings. Hear about the many theories explaining these strange phenomena and take a closer look at any crop circle formations en route (seasonal).

Our final (and most spectacular) stop is at Stonehenge, standing in lone majesty over Salisbury Plain. Most visitors are not allowed direct access to the stones but we have arranged with English Heritage for privileged access after the site has closed to the general public. There is a chance to visit the souvenir shop before you enter the temple complex . Your guide will explain the history of this ancient site and the many myths and legends that surround it. There will be an hour for you to enjoy the peaceful and mystical atmosphere of Stonehenge. You are free to take photographs and video footage (not for commerical use). On certain dates our visit coincides with sunset for a truly memorable experience.

A very special opportunity not to be missed.
