Description
Enjoy a tour that combines a visit to Windsor, home to one of the official residences of His Majesty The King and Stonehenge, the world's most famous Neolithic site. Embark on a full-day tour of history and culture.
Experience a full-day tour that combines a visit to two fantastic sites, Stonehenge and Windsor. Explore Windsor, one of His Majesty The King's official residences, and delve into the enigma surrounding Stonehenge, the world's most renowned Neolithic site.
Over 5,000-years of history are waiting to be discovered at the prehistoric site of Stonehenge. Built by our Neolithic ancestors, Stonehenge is a site that has courted controversy and stirred opinion for hundreds of years.
Explore over 250 ancient objects on display at the world-class visitor centre. Discover the tools and everyday objects of Neolithic life, and come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and ancient human remains.
Decipher the mystery of Stonehenge using an interactive audio guide. Learn who built it and why, as well as how it was constructed using rudimentary equipment made of wood and stone.
The next stop on the tour is Windsor, home to Windsor Castle, the ancestral home of the British monarchy and the largest occupied castle in the world.
As you walk around the impressive grounds, it is almost hard to believe that successive kings and queens have been living here for over 900-years. You'll see why this beautiful castle was a favoured weekend residence of Queen Elizabeth II.
Inside the State Apartments, you can explore the same rooms used today by The King and members of the Royal Family. The rooms here were intended to rival the Palace of Versailles in France, and paintings by renowned artists such as Rembrandt and Rubens adorn the walls.
Set within the grounds of Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. The Chapel has been the location of many royal weddings and within it are the tombs of 11 monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II.
