Southampton
Cruise Terminal To Stonehenge
For the majority of cruises we will be on our way by about
08:30.
The driver/guide will provide a meet and greet service as you exit
customs and stow your luggage in the vehicle.
After introductions, the vehicle is soon on its way for the 30 minute
journey to Salisbury. The driver/guide will start to explain about
the Neolithic society that built Stonehenge.
Soon, we're at Salisbury - a medieval wool city with its icon, Salisbury
Cathedral, dominating the skyline on the approaches to the city. |
We
climb out of the Avon valley past the old Salisbury, (Old Sarum) an
old Iron Age Hill Fort.
It may be over 2500 years old, but that's too new for the theme of
this tour! |
|
We quickly descend into the Woodford Valley. We follow the river past
sleepy villages with limestone walls, thatched cottages, riverside
pubs, Norman churches - a taster of what is to come.
All too soon, the driver has alerted you to an imminent arrival at
Stonehenge. You will have already had a thorough background briefing
from the driver. At Stonehenge the driver/guide will escort you into
Stonehenge. An informative audio tour comes with admission to Stonehenge.
The driver/guide will be available within Stonehenge to answer questions
you may have, take a group photo or demonstrate the ley lines that
converge at Stonehenge |
Stonehenge
To Lacock (Lunch Stop)
Most people will take around 45-60 minutes at Stonehenge.
Its around an hours journey to Lacock, our lunch stop. Its a scenically
rich 60 minutes as well.
After a brief visit to Woodhenge, just a mile from Stonehenge, next
to Durrington Wells we cross Salisbury Plain going straight through
a British Army Tank Range before descending through more picturesque
villages. We venture for some part along single track roads, truly
into the countryside. Photo opportunities abound.
Lacock
Lacock is an old wool town where all the buildings in the village
are more than 200 years old. It is not a museum piece, but a living
working village with school, post office, church, tithe barn, bakery
and several pubs. |
