Tour Itinerary:

International Friends run this popular tour departing every Friday and Sunday from Central London.

Travel to the Kingdom of Wessex to visit ancient stone circles, the mystical Island of Avalon and the legends of King Arthur

Stonehenge

This first stop of the day will give you a chance to learn more about this monument, of its builders and those that worshipped there.


There are many unanswered questions and many more theories and ideas that are open to debate, your guide will explain what is known and what may never be known and then leave you to explore and ponder its awe inspiring presence

You are at Stonehenge for the best part of an hour

Stonehenge What To Expect

Glastonbury

Onwards to Isle of Avalon, through backroads of villages built of flint and thatch, from chalk downland into rolling limestone hills to Glastonbury Tor where legend tells us Arthur was brought after being mortally wounded in battle.

International Friends Tour Bus

We climb to the top to visit the ruined church of St Michael and admire the view of England's West Country laid out like a carpet below.


In the ruins of the once great Glastonbury Abbey we find the gravesite of Arthur and learn of older legends like that of Joseph of Aramathea, the Holy Grail and the Crown of Thorns.


After exploring the unique shops in the town we head over to the Chalice Well Gardens, drink from the spring and learn of the fate of the holy chalice from the Last Supper.

Glastonbury What To Expect

Avebury

On the return journey to London a stop is made at the stone circle complex at Avebury.


A collection of standing stones much larger than that of Stonehenge. The guide will also reveal many other Neolithic sites in the area such as enigmatic Silbury Hill (Europe's tallest prehistoric structure), the Devil's chair and the Barber-Surgeon stone.

Unlike Stonehenge you can walk among and touch the stones here.
