'A Once In A Lifetime Experience'


Experience the history, mystery and magic of the greatest stone circle in the world - enjoy an hour within the temple complex.

An early departure from London for our special morning visit to 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 before the site opens to the general public. You will spend an hour inside the temple complex where your guide will explain the history of this ancient site and the many myths and legends that surround it. You are free to take photographs and video footage (not for commerical use). After your visit there will be time to visit the souvenir shop for a reminder of this magical experience.

Leaving Stonehenge we take a scenic drive through the beautiful Woodford Valley passing picturesque, tucked away villages. En route we stop off for a hearty traditional English breakfast . This is included in the price of your tour and is the perfect opportunity to reminisce on the experience of a lifetime within the temple of Stonehenge.

As we continue our journey your guide will point out Old Sarum Hillfort and you will enjoy spectacular views over the sweeping landscape of Salisbury Plain. Then we continue to Salisbury where you will visit one of England's finest cathedrals which was constructed over 750 years ago. The building is famous for it's elegant spire - the tallest in England at 404 feet high - and it's breathtaking interior . In the beautiful, gothic Chapter House there is the chance to view one of the last remaining copies of the Magna Carta (not available on Sunday mornings). There is also ample opportunity to stroll the streets of this ancient, market town and indulge in some souvenir shopping or perhaps some independent sightseeing.

NEW FOR 2007 (included in our tour will be an exclusive opportunity to climb the cathedral spire)

Enjoy spectacular views as you explore the roof spaces and tower, climbing 332 steps in easy stages by narrow winding spiral staircases to reach to the foot of the spire 225 feet above ground level. From here you can see up into the spire through the medieval scaffold, and from the outside you can look over the city and surrounding countryside.

We then head for London arriving back on the capital for approximately 1 - 1.30 pm giving you plenty of time to enjoy the afternoon.

A very special opportunity not to be missed.

Astral Travels uk sightseeing tours. Testimonials title
 I took the Special Access tour of Stonehenge back in March, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done in my many trips to the UK. With a lot of my colleagues going to England for the first time over the next few months, I gave them only one name for tours: Astral Travels. If you treat them half as nicely as I was treated, they’ll have the memory of a lifetime. Thanks again!
