The Neolithic Tour
About this tour
The ultimate Neolithic Tour for those of you who just love architecture of that time. A whole day dedicated to ancient monuments and landscape that is 5000 years old.
We start off at Durrington Walls, the site of the largest Neolithic village ever found in Britain. The home of the people that built Stonehenge. Understand where they came from, how they prepared for the Midwinter Solstice.
Whilst at this site we can learn and understand more about Woodhenge. A site of six concentric circles of holes that used to be constructed of wooden poles as high as 9 metres.
We then walk and follow the route of the ‘Ancients’ along the Stonehenge Avenue towards Stonehenge.
A comprehensive walking tour around Stonehenge, discussing the origins of the Stones, the methods of construction and the spiritual history of the stones and their connection with the solstice.
Time at the Stonehenge Visitor centre to enjoy the Museum and a spot of lunch.
Then off to the magnificent site of Avebury Stone Circle and Henge.
Tour price: £795
