Tour runs Wednesdays
Travelling back to a landscape that has played witness to every aspect of Britain's history, a history that has helped shaped these islands, from the Stone Age to the Romans, from the Medieval to the Victorians.

On this tour we visit the stone circles of Avebury and Stonehenge, the Neolithic burial chamber at West Kennet, the mysterious Silbury Hill and the delightful city of Salisbury with its beautiful cathedral and water meadows.

You will also travel along the delightful Woodford Valley and view some of the best of the English countryside.
Old Sarum & Salisbury
Our first stop is Old Sarum Castle where layer after layer of history is brought to life during our guided tour. This hilltop site has been settled for over 5,000 years, long before work began on the replacement city of Salisbury below. You will see evidence of Iron Age, Norman and Medieval remains. Particularly impressive are the Iron Age battlements / earthworks and the Norman Castle.
'New' Salisbury lies down in the river valley just 5 minutes drive. Here, within the water mills and meadows, where five rivers meet, stands the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral.

The guided tour inside will reveal how quickly it was built, a construction date of 1220 - 1258, we will visit the chapter house and see an original Magna Carta of 1215, England's only major constitution then admire the height of the tower and spire, rising up to 404 feet, the tallest in the country.
Stonehenge
After lunch and free time, we travel up the Avon Valley taking the back roads to Stonehenge, through the Woodfords, passing thatched cottages with well kept gardens.
Upon arrival at Stonehenge you enjoy priority entrance and head up to the stones.

You will learn of the building and rebuilding of this awe inspiring monument. Learn of the people that constructed Stonehenge and the possible methods they used, how far the stones were moved to get them here, the purpose of the circle and how many questions still remain unanswered.

Stonehenge isn't the only Neolithic site in the area though. After a scenic ride Avebury offers a contrast to Stonehenge.
Avebury
At Avebury you will set foot inside an ancient burial chamber, West Kennet Longbarrow, built over 5,500 years ago and one of the largest in the country and see Silbury Hill one of the most mysterious monuments.
The henge at Avebury is totally free access, so unlike Stonehenge you will be able to walk among and touch the stones.
Tour departs every Wednesday from Central London between 07:30 & 8.00.
Returns to London before 19:00.

The International Friends Tours Difference
 International Friends Tours are the only mainstream operator of day tours from London operating small group minibuses daily throughout the year.
The maximum number of passengers is 16 and you get a guide offering a much more accessible and personalised experience than the big tours.
Unlike the big buses, International Friends make a point of exploring the country lanes, not the main highways, so you see the real England.

Mystical Stonehenge & Avebury Personalised Tour From London
Guided tour with 5 hours in field - touch the stones, track ley lines - unbeatable price
If you really want to understand Stonehenge and the Neolithic culture it is a symbol of, this tour is for you. Peter Knight is a leading speaker and author specialising in earth mysteries, earth energies. ley lines and astronomical alignments and lives locally from Stonehenge.
Peter is an enthusiastic guide who will immerse you in the subject, not bombard you with a monologue of facts. You will be encouraged to touch and feel the stones, experience natural energy forces and ley lines and really get into the mindset of our ancestors who over 3,000 years ago were creating this astounding environment.
This is an experience you will not forget, and astoundingly you can have a personalised hands on tour with such an enthusiastic local authority for much less than a standard packaged tour.
