Stonehenge & Salisbury
We will travel to Stonehenge via the New Forest, traditionally the hunting ground of the kings of England.
Stonehenge is an ancient wonder of the world, built approximately 5,000 years ago. Was it a place of worship, or sacrifice?
From Stonehenge, we travel to Salisbury, a beautiful medieval city, full of historical buildings and a beautiful cathedral, and the best fish n' chips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of clothes should I wear ?
You will need to wear sturdy shoes, as we will be walking on grass around the Stonehenge monument, and around the streets of Salisbury.
It is also advisable to carry a raincoat as the weather can be unpredictable in England.
What are the queues like at Stonehenge ?
The queues at Stonehenge depend on the time of year. The longest queues are at the weekend in summer.
It is recommended to purchase your tickets to Stonehenge online beforehand, to save time on the day.
Will it be possible to visit the cathedral in Salisbury ?
It is possible to visit the cathedral in Salisbury, but this will reduce the time left to discover the city and have lunch.
I would recommend either visiting the cathedral or exploring the streets of the city and having a light lunch.
You can always grab a sandwich 'to go' and enjoy it on the journey back to Southampton.
Reviews
Fred W.
“ Nice but not up to expectations ”
Pleasant but not the level of l knowledge or expertise we hoped for. We had expected a guide with a deeper passion for and knowledge of English nautical history. We learned more for overhearing other guides then from Andy.

Dear Fred, Thank you very much for booking a tour with me, and for your very generous gratuity. It is regrettable when expectation does not align with reality. The level of expertise that you expected could only realistically be obtained from a museum curator / expert; something that I never claim to be. The full-time staff located on the specific ships have an encyclopaedic knowledge, and therefore they would know the more obscure facts like how Nelson liked to dry his feet on the rugs in his cabin. I hope that your head has recovered from the low decks on HMS Victory. Have a lovely rest of your stay in England. Best wishes, Andrew
