The Journey
Stonehenge
Journey back 5,000 years to Stonehenge, a colossal monument rising from Salisbury Plain. More than just a pile of stones, Stonehenge is an enigma wrapped in history. Marvel at the sheer engineering feat of transporting these massive sarsen stones and bluestones from distant quarries, some over 150 miles away. Explore the reconstructed Neolithic village to glimpse the lives of its builders. Was it a temple, an astronomical observatory, or a burial ground? Let the mysteries of Stonehenge captivate you as you wander this iconic site.
Salisbury Cathedral
Stand in awe of Salisbury Cathedral, a masterpiece of Early English Gothic architecture, crowned by the tallest spire in Britain. Begun in 1220, this magnificent cathedral houses one of the best-preserved original copies of the Magna Carta, a cornerstone of modern democracy. Witness the world's oldest working clock, ticking faithfully since 1386. Stroll through the serene cloisters and let the soaring architecture transport you to another era. Salisbury Cathedral is more than a religious building; it's a living testament to history, faith, and human artistry.
