Afterwards, we take a leisurely walk to West Kennet Long Barrow, one of the largest Neolithic burial tombs in Britain and over 5000 years old. Your guide will take you into the burial chambers and bring it's fascinating history alive. You will also see mysterious Silbury Hill - the largest man made mound in ancient Europe - even after centuries of research archaeologists have still not discovered its original purpose.
We then take a scenic drive over the Marlborough Downs and through the beautiful Pewsey valley. We pass famous white horses carved into the chalk hillsides and picturesque, tucked away villages. We explore the mysterious phenomena of crop circles and take a closer look at any which may be in the area (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.
