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.
